Judging Information

We ask that teams make sure that their judges are trained on not only the events, but also how to be productive, positive, equitable influences in the tournament space. We highly suggest that coaches have their judges complete the NFHS/ NSDA online judge training prior to the tournament, which is totally free and which you can find here. The whole course takes about an hour. 

If your judges are experienced judges who are familiar with their events, it is still beneficial for those judges to take the quick, free refresher offered by the NFHS/NSDA on cultural competency when judging.

Please remember that judges who are judging asynchronous speech will be assigned preliminary round ballots starting on Tuesday April 27th. Judges may complete these ballots at their leisure anytime before Friday April 30th at 7:30PM. 

As the tournament approaches, judge lounge links and further information will be posted on this page.

NOTE: Please check emails for updates and information as the tournament progresses.
