Parent Judging and Availability
In order to provide a quality tournament for everyone, it is essential all parents sign up to judge at least 3 rounds. We ask that you please make yourself available at the Ballot Distribution table before each round.

Ballots will be given to available community and alumni judges and then to parent judges.

Note: While we are pleased to offer the convenience of on-campus housing, all parents and competitors are expected to remain within the competition area while students are competing.
