Please recruite community judges and ask them to register. We hear over and over from community judges that judging is a wonderful experience, and they return time and again to support these students. The more community judges we have, the better our tournament will run.
In the link below, please find a judge recruitment flier that you are encouraged to print and distribute. Some ideas of people who may appreciate being asked are grandparents, youth pastors, older siblings (judges must be 18 years old), coaches, teachers in your co-op classes, and neighbors. Please think about these categories, and invite at least one person to sign up for a round to judge. Remind them that all training will provided immediately prior to the round they sign up to judge. Thank you for working together to invite community participation in our tournament!
