Judging: The 2022-2023 Season
Please volunteer to judge! The more judges we provide the faster the events move along. Judging is a great way to learn more about what your student does in Speech and Debate. When you judge, you make a huge contribution to the team!!
We ask that each each family participate in judging at 2 tournaments, in addition to judging at the Patriot Games which we host for the community in early January.
When your family completes their requirement of judging at two tournaments, you will be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 travel voucher. Each time you judge after that, you will receive another entry!
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR 2021-2022 WINNERS OF THE TRAVEL VOUCHER THE BACHELOR FAMILY!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND MADE OUR 21-22 SEASON SO SUCCESSFUL! WE LOOK FORWARD TO GIVING AWAY A VOUCHER TO ANOTHER AMAZING FAMILY THIS SEASON.
Speech and debate depends on volunteer judges who make the meets possible. With such a large team, GW is obligated to provide a number of judges for each meet. If every family judged for 3 meets during the season, we would easily meet our team’s obligations to provide judges commensurate with our participation. In addition, because judges’ pay can be donated to the team, our judges help to strengthen our financial position. On the other hand, when we don’t provide enough judges, our team is charged judging fees to offset the cost of hiring judges from the community.
Please Note: Judging times listed on the signup sheets are approximate. Some tournaments run more smoothly than others and we can only estimate the time shifts. We encourage you to bring reading/knitting/work/etc. to fill some of the down time you might experience between rounds.
Please include you NAME, EMAIL, and JUDGING PREFERENCES under the NOTES column.
Thank you in advance for providing this support to our team.
