League Policies

  1. Our ability to employ best practices for avoiding judge conflicts beyond our stated eligibility policies is dependent on the number of judges available for each round. Our system will prevent most judging conflicts, but there are some factors we ask judges to keep in mind when choosing to accept a ballot. 

    • Please do not take a ballot with a student you know very well or have coached in the event.
    • Do not take a ballot for a room where a family member is also judging. If this happens inadvertently, please contact Tournament Administration.
    • Judges who have a question or have difficulty finding a ballot that seems suitable should contact tournament administration for help.

    Parent judges should follow additional guidance contained in our tournament prep instructions.
