Food: Closed campus (FGCCFL rule). Lunches are automatically ordered for students and judges as part of registration. ONE complimentary lunch will be provided to each school for the head coach. Please specify the number of vegetarian meals needed on Tabroom.

Judging Requirements: One Speech/Congress judge for every five (5) entries. One LD/PFD judge for every two (2) entries. One Policy judge for each Policy team. COACHES: Do not count yourself in your judge quota as we must be able to use you where needed! Judges should be cross-trained. Remember to list conflicts (by student first and last name) in the “Judge Notes” space on Tabroom.

Electronic Ballots: FGCCFL will offer electronic ballots via Tabroom in all events except Congress. All judges must have an active Tabroom account linked to their registration and must provide a connected device (laptop computer or tablet preferred; smartphone acceptable) on Tournament Day.

COVID-19 Protocols: Social distancing of 6 feet is required. While indoors masks must be worn by competitors unless speaking during a round or eating, drinking water does not excuse a student from wearing a mask throughout rounds or in the cafeteria. Masks for adults are optional.
