PARENT JUDGING RESPONSIBILITY
Each competitor is required to provide a judge for a minimum of 2 rounds per event your student will compete.
You will be expected to judge at the time slot you checked upon registration.
If you have a Stoa alumni in town please bring them. We will do our best to reach out to local community judges and alumni parents.
It is important to attend the orientation if this is your first tournament of the season.
We kindly request YOUR HELP to ensure the tournament keeps running by checking in 45 minutes prior to each round at the ballot push table.
