Judging Requirements

DCI - 3 rounds of prelim judging per odd entry, 2 per even entry. A single full time judge covers 2 DCI teams. We will use MPJ in the DCI division. Any individual contributing to the competitive success of a DCI team should be entered in the judge pool prior to the tournament for at least 2 prelim debates.

Everything else - We are slightly smaller in size this year, and the tournament is likely larger in size. We ask that each team provide one full-time equivalent adult judge to help cover all non DCI events. We are happy to mark this individual substitute only on the back end of tabroom. Please indicate this request in the notes section when registering your judge. We hope to not use these adults, and will do our best to refrain from doing so. We are likely willing to trade multiple HS student judges instead of a Adult judge. Just let us know!

10/14/24 Update - A VARSITY student judge is acceptable to count at your "Community Judge" We no longer need excess adults!

PLEASE consider sending your advanced students to judge the novice divisions.
