Judging Fees
Due to the proximity of college finals week it is extremely difficult to hire judges. We will hire quality judges for the tournament but because of exams it is difficult to get them on board and that challenge increases our cost of bringing in judges.
Congress Hired Judge--$100
Speech Hired Judge--$175
Public Forum Hired Judge--$200
Lincoln-Douglas Hired Judge--$50 per round
Policy Hired Judge--$50 per round
We hope that you can bring the most qualified judges possible. Providing students with experienced judges will only enhance their experience. Likewise hiring qualified judges is costly!
ALL FEES ARE FINAL ON November 29th at 3pm CST.
