Each registered competitor must have at least one parent on campus with them and available to judge for the entire day. Students will need to have their parent physically with them to check-in.

JUDGING REQUIREMENTS:  Every student must have a participating parent/adult judge present at the tournament. While we understand that it is sometimes more convenient or cost effective for families to send their students to tournaments with other families, this puts a severe strain on the availability of parent judges. For this reason, you must either be present with your student at Espresso Cup or you must have another adult who can fulfill your judging responsibilities.

We understand that for larger families with multiple students participating, the system may generate an unachievable number of rounds for you to judge. If this is your situation, we ask that you be available to judge all day each day.

Recruit Community Judges!

We have a generous judge recruitment contest!  Even with parents judging, we do not have enough to cover all the judging slots for every round to give the competitors 3 judges/round for speech. And more is needed for outrounds for both Speech and Debate on Saturday. Ask a Friend, co-worker, family members to come and judge!

STUDENT CHECK IN: 

A Parli Parent/Chaperone will be REQUIRED to participate in a check-in process that will be simultaneous to the student check-in. If the student does not have an adult able to judge rounds, they may not compete.

YOUNGER SIBLINGS:  They must be supervised at all times.

Thank you for working with us to make this a quality tournament for everyone!
