All Congress judges:Please remain on standby in the morning until we get all chambers up and running. Congress judges may arrive to the Judge Hospitality Room for morning arrival and folder pickup. Congress judges who cannot be used due to entry constraints will be moved to the Individual Events or Debate judge pools, depending on the individual circumstances.
