New Items re: Judging (1/17/23)

1) Palmer created a new shifts system. It is active for your judge entries. I am going to enter the time constraints for the existing judges.

After this, it's the responsibility of directors/coaches with tabroom access to manage your own time conflicts.

If you enter judge notes after 1/17/23 1PM CST I will not see it.

2) You randos need to stop adding yourselves to the judge pool. This is a college tournament. Hired judging isn't a thing. Online judging is limited and you will never see the judge exchange without a track record of NDT-CEDA participation.

3) I'm only approving more online judges in the exchange for highly preferred judges.

The hotel is different. It is probably 15 minutes longer to/from campus. Same distance to the airport in the other direction. It is affordable and is designed well for a debate tournament to function. It is very close to useful stores, dining options, and several inexpensive late-night food options. I have been promised that all king rooms have pull-out beds. There is a new Best Western across the street that I will explore additional room block options if necessary.
