Judging Requirements and Expectations

Schools will be obligated to provide rounds for judging based on entry totals. Schools will be expected to withdraw entries to meet expectations if necessary. Judge obligations are:

●      1 judge for every twelve (12) event entries

●      1 judge for every eight (8) debate entries

Eligible Judges include:

●      Coaches should mark as much availability as possible

●      Current Varsity students who have earned 150 or more NSDA points can judge novices

●      All judges must have access to the internet to able to judge

All judges, including coaches and current students, should sign up on THIS FORM.  

Judge Expectations:

●      All judging assignments will be posted in Speechwire. Accounts will be connected by the host.

●      Please sign up knowing you should arrive in your “room” 15 minutes prior to start time. Any rounds you sign up to judge will likely be assigned to you. Do not sign up for a time you cannot make.

●      All judge comments should focus on the competitor’s performance in the round - not on their clothing, competition space, et cetera. Please remember you are a “virtual guest” in their homes.
