All students are required to provide a judge for every three tournaments that they attend.

With contributions from both student competitors and other parents who have judged both virtually and in-person, this will allow you to be comfortable and confident throughout the tournament season. New, newer, and experienced judges are welcome to attend, as we will review the differences between virtual and in-person judging, as well as the basics.
