Coaches:

  • Make sure that all your students and judges are linked to their tabroom accounts.

  • Please ask students to bring devices (phones, laptops, tablets, etc.) so they can check

their tabroom accounts.

  • Judges should bring devices, too. We will be using tabroom to send out the schematic.

They will need them to judge. We will have paper ballots for those who wish to use them.

  • Please train your judges in advance. Go over the rules, tabroom.com,

and other related topics with them. www.themifa.org has many resources

available to help.

  • If you have a student who has any content warnings for their selection

or speech, please let us know ahead of time. This may aid us in placing judges appropriately. coach.mrs.smith@gmail.com
