Tournament TimeThank you for your interest in judging at our homeschool speech and debate tournament! Our tournament cannot run smoothly without numerous volunteers from the community, so if you are unsure about judging, please hesitate no longer! Students are learning to communicate with people from all stages of life and judging experience, and we will provide judge training, so you do not need any prior expirience to come and judge.
The location of the tournament is Big Valley Grace Community Church in Modesto (4040 Tully Rd, Modesto, CA 95356).
Below is the schedule. Note: We ask that you arrive 1 hour before the round you are judging to go through Judge Orientation and that you plan on staying after the round to fill out your ballots. We will provide coffee and refreshments before and after the round.
