COACHES—A NOTE ABOUT JUDGES YOU BRING
All judges in Policy Debate need to be able to flow competently.
All judges who have judged at 5 or fewer tournaments—need
to do Judge Training AND SHOULD JUDGE NOVICE AND JUNIOR DIVISION ONLY.
Please train and talk with your judges. Have them
watch practice debates. Have them fill out example ballots.
Please—the NUMBER
ONE COMPLAINT WE GET IS ABOUT JUDGES. HELP US MAKE THIS A GREAT TOURNAMENT.
HOW DO I FIGURE MY JUDGING FEES?
Debate Judging Fees:
Each Debate
judge you bring covers 2 Policy Teams OR 1 Policy Team and 2 LD debaters OR 4
LD debaters.
So, let’s
say you have 3 policy teams and 5 LD debaters and you bring 2 judges such as
yourself and an assistant coach to judge debate.
Your 2
judges cover 2 policy teams and 4 LD debaters. That means, you have 1 Policy
team not covered ($100 fee) and 1 LD debater not covered ($50 fee).
So, in this
situation, your Debate judging fees are $150.
IE Judging Fees:
Each IE
Judge you bring covers 6 individual event, student congress, or parliamentary
entries.
So, let’s
say you have a student in Extemp and Student Congress; another student in Dramatic
Interp; and another student in Impromptu, Dramatic Interp, and Expos and a
student in Parliamentary Debate.
You have a
total of 7 IE Entries and you bring one judge such as yourself to judge
Individual Events.
One judge
covers 6 IE Entries. So, you have one IE Slot not covered ($10 fee).
So, in this
situation, your IE judging fees are $10.
