League Policies
Parents must be prepared to serve as the Head Judge for speech rounds as needed throughout the tournament. This role is essential for helping make sure rounds run smoothly and that Community Judges feel well supported. In every round, our system will assign a parent who is on the judge panel for this responsibility.
- If you are selected, please do not delegate the responsibility to anyone else.
- If you have questions or concerns about serving in this role, please contact Tournament Administration before the round.
Complete training information is provided on our Parent Guidelines page. Be sure to review the following sections of instructions:
- Room Management
- Reviewing and Monitoring Rules
- Handling Timer Issues
- Online Tournament Instructions (if applicable)
