Judging Information

VERY IMPORTANT: IF YOUR JUDGES DO NOT SHOW UP TO ROUNDS IN A TIMELY MATTER, YOUR SCHOOL WILL BE FINED THE COST OF A HIRED JUDGE TO REPLACE THEM ($10 per round).

The same applies if an adult judges and his/her Code of Conduct Agreement Form is missing. 

All Judges must have an account with Tabroom.com to participate in the tournament. We will be using only paperless ballots in debate and IE divisions. Please use the following resources to help get your judges registered:

Judging Fulfillment: All schools must provide one round judged per entry made. This means that for 4 entries in any division, 1 full day judge (4 rounds) would be required.

Judge Check-In: All judges must report to the Staff Lounge (Rm. A55) at 7:30 (unless coaches notify tournament directors beforehand that judges will arrive later in the day and make special arrangements). There will be a presentation that all judges are required to attend. If judges do not check in, your team will be assessed fees for a hired judge who will fulfill your commitment.

Parent Judge Training: We will offer judge training for parent judges this year. Our staff will provide a training section at 7:30 AM in the Staff Lounge (Rm. A55), which is expected to last about 30 minutes.
