League Policies

1. Each competitor and at least one parent or legal guardian must be available to actively participate for the duration of each NCFCA tournament for which they are registered.

   Each parent will be designated to serve as a judge or to assist in a tournament staff role. If a parent is unable to participate, he or she may appoint another adult as a proxy, but must ensure that the designated adult meets all criteria outlined below.

   A designated adult:

   • May not be a competitor.
   • Must be at least 21 years old or at least 19 years old if he or she is a sibling of the competitor.
   • Must be prepared to fully participate in the tournament by serving as a judge or in another tournament capacity throughout the event.
   • Must view one Judge Training each season for speech and for debate prior to judging.
   • May only be responsible for students in one family regardless of the number of students in the family.
   • May not be an adult who is already responsible for their own competing children
