Entourage, PF Judge and Paradigm Rules
As in past years, we will continue to use an entourage rule for PF, LD and Policy. Any adult who coaches teams at the tournament must be in the pool for at least 2 prelim rounds and elimination rounds your team is obligated for. This also helps us appropriately estimate the coach's room food numbers.
We also require that all judges have some kind of paradigm page. Please do not offer the students better points for doing tricks or bringing you items. It is just inappropriate.
Finally, all public forum parents must have judge a minimum of 6 tournament rounds at a previous tournament.
