Parents

You will need to check in at the same time as your student. After confirming that both competitor and parent judge are present, the student will be able to compete.

We are blessed by the support of many community judges but you are the lifeblood of Clash of Titans! Your presence on campus and willingness to take ballots are essential. Check with Ballot Push 45 to 30 minutes before rounds to see if you are needed to take a ballot.

Please plan on judging every other round. Ballot Push will let you know each round whether or not you are needed.

Even though you will select specific rounds on your registration, please be flexible at the tournament. We want to prioritize community judges that have taken time out of their day to judge our students!

Greatest Need

Our greatest need is often the first and last rounds of the day.  Please do your best to be at the ballot table early so that all ballots can be pushed AND we can start the round on time.

Each registered student needs to have at least one of their own parents judging for them every day of the tournament. Thank you for your understanding and efforts to make Clash of Titans Amazing!

Parent Meals

We invite you to enjoy coffee and simple snacks will be available throughout the day in the judge lounge. Please order meals for yourself and your student when you register.

Would you like a little more information on the Professional Judges attending our tournament?  Stay tune for that information.

Host Housing

We realize that many families would not choose to travel and compete without this option. We are pleased to offer limited host housing, available on a first-come, first-served basis, for those families who are traveling. However, host family preferences (i.e. “available space”) and other special factors (i.e. guest “allergies”, etc.) are taken into consideration to make a good match.. We will not be able to accommodate all requests. Please consider the following general guidelines before seeking host housing.

We require every family at the tournament to have a parent or chaperone in attendance and judging each day. Please only request housing for yourself and your own children.

If you desire to be considered for host housing, please request ASAP. 

What you can expect from your host home:
• A place to sleep
(maybe a bed, sofa, or room on the floor for your sleeping bags)
• A bathroom to shower and get ready for tournament

What your host can expect from you:
• A thankful heart and Christ-like attitude
• Carefully supervised children at ALL times regardless of age
• NO smoking in or near host homes

Our hosts open their homes out of generosity, kindness, and support for the activity of speech and debate. In order for us to keep host families year after year, we wish for them to have a great experience with their guests. If you cannot abide by the above guidelines, it is best to choose other lodging arrangements. However, if this sounds like a BLESSING for your situation, please contact our Host Housing Coordinator.
