PARENTS
You will need to check in at the same time as your student. After confirming that both competitor and parent judge are present, the student will be able to compete.
You are the lifeblood of the tournament! Your presence on site and willingness to take ballots is essential. Check with Ballot Push 45 minutes before rounds to take ballots.
To all Parents of Competitors:
We ask that you please review and abide by the following:
Every competitor must be accompanied by a parent. Your student will not be able to check-in at the tournament without an accompanying parent.
All parents are expected to judge. You will need to register as a judge before completing your student registration. For each speech event that your student(s) are registered in, you must judge at least every other round.
Judge Orientation will be offered 45 minutes before each round.
All parents must report to Ballot Push 30 minutes prior to each debate round to assure that all judging slots are filled. Your willingness to judge helps to ensure the tournament runs on schedule.
Thank you for your commitment to these students. We hope that you have a great tournament!
Note to Parents:
Speech and Debate is one of the best kept secrets in the home school community, and a tournament is an excellent opportunity to introduce other families to this special community. Please invite at least one family to experience this amazing training ground for public speaking and critical thinking.
