βοΈWelcome to the Cross Timbers Classic!
Start the New Year by investing in the next generation! Thank you for your interest in serving as a community judge.
A new year is a time for fresh goals and growth, and our students are ready to put theirs to work. They’ve spent the season building communication, critical thinking, and character, and your feedback helps them carry that growth into the year ahead. No experience is needed. We’ll give you simple training and clear instructions when you arrive, and our friendly staff will be with you every step of the way.
