Notes for Judges

  • Check in will be at a table in the main hallway. Then, you head to the judges lounge and wait for further instructions. Please check in no later than 8:00 AM.
  • ​Speech Judges, remember to take attendance when you get to the room. When everyone has arrived (exception- double entries and Extemp), you can close the door and begin the round. When it is time for the student to speak, you call each speaker in the order listed on your SpeechWire ballot by either their name or Speaker Code, which ever is easier.
  • Speech Judges, remember to type your critiques as the speech is being delivered. If you need to take a minute in between each speaker to complete your thoughts, that's fine. The next speaker will not go up until you call them. 
  • Debate and Speech Judges, remember there are no oral critiques permitted at a tournament. To avoid issues, I recommend not verbally saying anything about the speech after the speaker presents. Just keep it all in the ballot. Debate, do not announce who the winner is after they complete the round. Keep it in the ballot. You should not be conversing with the students after the round either.
