Hi, my name is Pradnya and I'm a parent judge with no prior judging experience.

I value well-structured cases, clear presentation of thoughts, quality/well-constructed arguments and good communication skills. Please be respectful while presenting your case to your peer.

“I am a parent judge, not experienced in speech and debate. Please speak slowly and clearly. If I can’t understand you, it doesn’t count. I may ask clarification questions before the round and during the round as need be”

I am a first time parent judge who has spectated speech tournaments before. I am amazed at the how talented the kids in speech and debate tour are. Appreciate all the hard work the kids are putting in and wish them the best for the tournament.

I'm a parent judge, without experience in speech and debate. Please speak slowly if it is online. If I cannot understand you, it does not count. I may ask clarification questions before the round and during the round as need be.
