Each school is required to provide at least 2 rounds of qualified judging per 1 policy team they are entering. Because we are planning to single flight PF, each school is required to provide at least 2 rounds of qualified judging per 1 public forum team they are entering. Because we are planning to single flight LD, each school is required to provide at least 2 rounds of qualified judging per 1 Lincoln-Douglas competitor they are entering. Please note, however, if schools do not provide adequate judging, we reserve the right to flight the round.

Each school is required to provide at least 1 qualified judge per 5 entries in Congressional Debate [if possible to provide a judge that could judge in another event other than Congress in order to make the judge useful if the field is small, would be most appreciated].

Please remember that providing a judge is a requirement; however, constraints in events based on numbers entered by a school may limit usage of that judge. A limited number of judges will be available for hire through the tournament. However, please let us know by the end of January if you are in need of hired judging. The sooner you enter judge information, the easier it will be to make sure we have enough.

We ask that all judges put their judge philosophy on the tabroom.com if judging debate events.

Makes fee checks payable to Jesuit Dallas.
