Community and Alumni Judges:

Parent judges are needed!

Students must check in with a parent or responsible adult who will judge both days. As you know, parent judges are the backbone of a well-run tournament.

Parents--please aim to judge at least 3 rounds per day. Without your diligent efforts, we will run late. Please be open to judging other types of debate. We will have orientations 40 minutes before each round.

Please stay on campus so that you can continue judging. Meal options are available for purchase through Thursday, 3/20, or you can bring your own tasty meals.
