General Information - 

• Judge Orientation will take place an hour before each round
• Meals can be pre-ordered. There are several fast food locations in the area but plan accordingly in order to meet judging requirements.
• Parent Attendance - *This is not a drop-off event for any student.* You are expected to remain at the event with your student. If you are unable to do so, you need to arrange for another adult to stay with them. All parents/guardians need to be on-deck to judge a minimum of 2 rounds for each event that your student will compete. It is our hope and prayer that you will not judge every round. This should be possible with parent attendance.
