If your students are registered only for the Wednesday tournament, then your judge must be available for all Wednesday rounds. If your students are only registered for the Thursday tournament, then your judge must be available for all Thursday rounds. If your school has students entered in BOTH tournaments, then your judge needs to be available for BOTH tournaments. You may enter different judges for each day, but you must communicate with the tournament as to their availability. Failure to register a judge will result in being dropped from the tournament.

If your students are registered only for the Friday tournament, then your judge must be available for all prelim rounds plus one round past elimination on Friday.

Judging in MULTIPLE POOLS

You CAN add judges to multiple pools from your end on Tab Room. For example, if a coach has students in both speech tournament and both debate tournaments, that coach can enter themselves as a judge in all four pools. However, this commits that coach to all prelims plus the first elimination round of all four tournaments.
