Judge Resources

I am attaching links from the national tournament that might help you understand our software (with thanks to Jenn & Robin who let us use this).

A few notes:

• Our tournaments are in MST, not CST like the video says

• The speech rounds will be live, not pre-recorded

• You will not need to go to classrooms.speechanddebate.org. Next to your scheduled round, there will be a camera icon. If you click on that, it will take you directly to your round.

• We do not have a grace period before each round. Please follow the posted schedule on tabroom.com 

• If you have a question on if something from the video is being ran during our local tournaments, let me know!

• We will use Tabroom.com and the NSDA Campus Software

NSDA Campus Procedure:

Attached below is a link to the NSDA’s explanation of how competition rooms function. Students will be expected to remain in the room throughout the entirety of the round unless they are double entered. They should keep their microphone muted when not delivering a speech, and may choose to keep their camera on during other’s speeches’, provided they are not distracting. Judges should also mute themselves during speeches, but keep their camera on for the duration of the round. If a student is double entered, they should go to whichever event they are the highest speaker in first and inform the judge. Following their speech, they will be allowed to leave to proceed to their next event. If they are double entered with a Draw event, that event should take priority, unless it is reasonable they can complete their other speech before their time to draw.
