2024 Tip of the Spear
Verve (WA) · Oct 18-19, 2024
Thank you for your interest in judging at our tournament.
We appreciate your support!
This tournament is debate only, with Parliamentary Debate on Friday, and Lincoln Douglas and Team Policy Debate on Saturday.
Please view our schedule page for the exact time that each round will start. We ask judges to arrive 45 minutes before the round they wish to judge. We are asking that community judges not sign up to judge the first round of the day on Saturday, October 19th. That first round will begin shortly after doors open, so we will not have time to complete Judge Orientation prior to that round. We will be so grateful for your time during any other round!
To find us, follow the directions below (and the on-campus event signs) to enter the Ness Building. You'll check in there, and be directed to Judge Orientation, where you'll receive all the training you need! Please plan to spend 20-30 minutes after the round filling out your ballot.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at: vervetournament@gmail.com
