Student judges cannot be used to fulfill obligations for PF or V entries. Please let your judges know that they are obligated for the entire tournament, including potential final rounds. If you have judges who are able to judge without conflict, please mark them as "clean' in the drop-down menu.  Finally, in order to ensure a smooth experience, please train your judges in the category they are registered in prior to the tournament.
