Judge Requirements

1 entry = 2 judges
2 entries = 4 judges
3 entries = 5 judges
4 entries = 7 judges

Part-time judging is acceptable but all time slots must be fully covered. Note that Tabroom does not always do a perfect job of checking this for you; it is your responsibility to make sure your judges meet this quota.

All judges must be one full year out of high school; no 2024 graduates.
