Judging Requirements Schools are required to fulfill at least 50% of their debate and events requirement when fees are assessed on Wednesday, November 14, 2018. That means, you can’t buy out of more than 50% of your judge commitment. Fees for uncovered entries are listed below. Each judge covers two teams for Parli or Policy; four Public Forum teams/ four Lincoln Douglas debaters; 6 entries in speech and Congress. Schools will pay a judging penalty fee per speech slot, Congress entry, Lincoln Douglas/Duo Interp or debate team not covered by school judges. Congress judges may be asked to also judge speech since they will be in the same pattern and judge pool. Judges are committed one round past where their school drops from competition. Judges are assumed to be experienced and prepared to judge their assigned events or debate formats. Debate judges are free to determine style questions at the beginning of each round. Debate judges must have properly linked Tabroom accounts for online ballot entry. School judges who fail to check in to their rounds online when assigned may have their team fined the aforementioned penalties per round. Please contact us if you're unsure of your judging commitment, or have any other questions regarding judging.
