2025 Western Slope Rendezvous

Tournaments cannot happen without parents!  Thank you for your commitment!  We are grateful for you! Outlined here are the expectatations for parents regarding their children & judging.

Regarding CHILDREN:

• Read the Conduct Expectations link yourself and make sure your children have read and understand the expectations.
• Read the Dress Code link and DOUBLE-CHECK that your competitors are in compliance with the dress code.  Parents of daughters, please pay extra attention to the skirt/dress length requirement!
• If you are unable to attend, please go to the link for Chaperoned Competitor Requirements to fill out the medical waiver.

Regarding JUDGING:

• Every student must have a participating parent/adult judge present at the tournament. You must either be present with your student at WSR, or you must have another adult who can feasibly fulfill all of your judging responsibilities.
• All Individual Event (IE) Competitors are required to provide a judge for a minimum of two rounds for every IE event for which they are registered. For example, if you register for three IE events, then you are required to provide judges for a minimum of six rounds.
• All TP/LD Debate Competitors are required to provide a judge for three rounds.
• Parents will be REQUIRED to participate in a check-in process that will be simultaneous to the student check-in. We will also be depending on you to come to Ballot Push at least 30 minutes before each and every round to check and see if we need you to judge.

*To determine the total number of rounds required for a student or family, all the speech and debate judge requirements are added together.  However, we will observe the following caps on judging slots per family: For 1-2 students competing in a family the maximum judge slots will be 15 and for 3 or more students competing in a family the maximum judge slots will be 20.*
