Please take note of these important parent requirements for PPP:
1. Parent/Adult Judge Presence Required at Tournament
Every student must have a participating parent/adult judge present at the tournament. Parents will be expected to check in and verify judge committments with their student at check in. 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 PPP, or you must have another adult who can feasibly fulfill all of your judging responsibilities. Students who do not have an adult present to verify judge committments will not be permitted to compete.
2. Parent judging requirements:
Parents with competitors at PPP need to sign up for a minimum of 4 speech rounds.
3. Our committment to you:
Even though fulfilling judging requirements is essential to providing a quality tournament, we do understand that this commitment can be demanding and exhausting. For this reason, we pledge to you that we will do our best to recruit as many community judges as possible in the weeks leading up to the tournament. We often recruit a large number of community judges, but we are sometimes still not able to fulfill the goal of 3 judges in every speech round due to lack of parent judges. We are committed to recruiting as many community judges as possible, but we also need YOU to fulfill your judging minimum.
