LOCATION: Forest Glen Middle School 6501 Turtle Run Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33067
COMPETITORS: ASTs are for NOVICE debaters in their first year of high school debate (9-12).
VARSITY JUDGES: Varsity debaters with at least 150 NSDA points and who are not in their first year of high school debate are welcome to attend and judge. ***If you have varsity debaters who are able to judge for Congressional Debate, please email sarah.beauchamp@browardschools.com directly with their names and put it into the notes section of the judge.
JUDGES: Judges are required for any tournament to run and schools are required to cover their entries. (1 judge covers 2 debate entries, or 1 judge covers any combination of 5 speech/congress entries.) Please make sure you do not bring more students than you have judges to cover. Reach out to competitors' family members, teachers, and mentors for judge help. Coaches can judge too. Judge Check-In: 7:30am – 8am -First-time judge: You should have received an email from Speechwire to follow and create an account. -Judged before: It is important to make sure you have logged into live.speechwire.com and are able to sign in with the same email address you used previously. Once signed in, please make sure the cell number is correct/added to your account. -In order to have a smoother start to the tournament, it is a huge help for all judges to arrive on time, have checked-in, and have logged into live.speechwire.com prior to coming to the tournament. If for whatever reason you cannot initially log in, click "Forgot Password" but use the same email you entered. -Electronic Device: All ballots are electronic, so judges will need to bring a working, charged, smart phone, tablet, or laptop (preferably with a keyboard) to complete the eballots. Judge During Round: -Click "Start Round" after they confirm the correct competitors are in the room with them. -Type comments while students are speaking, which will expedite the tournament. Comments are open for editing overnight, but results must be submitted asap. -Save/submit ranks, points, and decisions when the round is finished. We cannot move on to the next round or close the tournament until all ballots are submitted.
REGISTERING ENTRIES: ENTRY CAPS: Remember, each school may only initially enter FIVE students in all events except Congress, in which you can enter TEN. Any entries over that number will go on the waitlist, which will be cleared pending available space at Fort Lauderdale High and sufficient judge numbers. No double or cross entries are allowed.
