I am asking that each team bring a well-qualified judge for this tournament.  Each judge will be obligated for 3 debates.  Obligations may be split between a few individuals (if schools bring more than one coach).   If you cannot cover your judging, judges can be hired for a $200 fee.  Once a list of judges and teams has been released, it is the responsibility of both judges and competitors to alert me of any conflicts in advance.  Judges are not permitted to disclose any decision until after the tournament has concluded.   This rule will be strictly enforced to ensure the quality of a round robin tournament.  Your cooperation in this is greatly appreciated.
