Good morning and welcome to GGSA State Quals! Remember we have three judges in each room. Do not start a round until all 3 judges are present.

Judges, please join us in the Speech Judge Lounge on tournaments.classrooms.cloud. Instructions begin at 8:00. Please be there! Remember to hit START ROUND as fast as you can after you get your ballot. That's really our only way to know that you see the ballot and are on your way. 

All extemp, please join the NX Draw room at 7:30 for the morning meeting. Draw is scheduled to begin at 8:00.

Competitors, we are planning on releasing Round 1 pairings 8:15-8:20 for an 8:30 start. The judges will join the round as after their meeting. 

Schedule:

All Judges need to press START ROUND within 5 minutes of receiving the round blast. Thank you!

For speech events with videos, you must enter the Zoom room and watch the videos with the students who are present. If you do not see a Zoom interface with participants/chat, you are not in the correct place.
