ONLINE REGISTRATION OF JUDGES:

 You will register Judges online with SpeechWire, but it is also important to complete the IHSFA JUDGE RATING FORM for each judge. Your Head Coach will be sent the form in an email.  This questionnaire will allow us to schedule judges based on availability, to code judges properly for experience, and to avoid assigning judges to rounds in which they may have a conflict due to affiliations with more than one school or team. You will need to complete a questionnaire for each judge you are bringing. Please be sure to register your judges by 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, Wednesday, January 24, 2018, because judge registration will close at that time to prepare the strike list.
