Juniors Judges
Calling All Senior Event Competitors!
Senior students, we need you to judge the Juniors Speech Events. You must have competed in at least one NITOC-modeled tournament as a Senior prior to The Pen and The Sword.
Sign-up sheets will be available throughout the tournament.
Juniors Judges need to arrive 15 minutes before each Juniors round in order to judge. At that time, they'll go through a short judges' orientation to prepare them.
