You are always welcome to judge more than one round!

You are qualified to judge! The goal of our competitors is to be able to communicate their ideas clearly and respectfully to anyone. If you are a good listener who is over 18 (over 20 if a Stoa alum), WE NEED YOU!

If you are on the fence about whether to try community judging, watch this short video.

Tournament Day

During Judge Training, you will be given a good overview of the events and the judging process at the tournament. We have several types of debates and speeches, and you will be trained in the event you are registered for. 

On the tournament day, please follow the campus signs to the judge check-in table. You will receive an e-mail with details about check-in, judge orientation, etc., approximately a week before the tournament.
