Parents
You will need to check in at the same time as your student. After confirming that both competitor and parent judge are present, the student will be able to compete.
Only students with at least one of their own parents (or a chaperone aged 21 or older who has been approved in advance by the tournament director) physically present and available to help and/or judge the entire tournament will be allowed to compete! If the student is at the tournament with a chaperone, a medical release form must be filled out, submitted and approved by the tournament director by April 3rd.
We are blessed by the support of many community judges but you are the lifeblood of our tournament. Your presence on campus and willingness to take ballots are essential. Check with Ballot Push 45 minutes before rounds to see if you are needed to take a ballot.
Please plan on judging every other round. If we continue to be blessed with community judges, ballot push will let you know each round whether or not you are needed.
Even though you will select specific rounds on your registration, please be flexible at the tournament. We want to prioritize community judges that have taken time out of their day to judge our students!
Greatest Need
Our greatest need is often the first and last rounds of the day along with ALL SPEECH rounds. Please do your best to be at the ballot table early so that all ballots can be pushed AND we can start the round on time.
