We are eBalloting, so have judges bring a laptop and make sure they're setup on live.speechwire.com

***CAVEAT: If schools with greater judging capacity are able to bring extra judges, smaller programs may be able to avoid cutting their entries, which is always a plus. We won't have extra judges "for hire," so please consider helping small and developing programs by bringing additional judges***
-
***CAVEAT: If your program is struggling to meet this judge quota, please communicate with us before you drop entries and we'll do everything we can to keep your students in the tournament***
