Please remember to submit yourself as a judge. All coaches are required to be available to judge at Regionals. Judges are expected to judge one round past a school’s elimination, so all judges will be expected to be available for finals.

If you fulfill only the minimum judging requirements, you will judge every round. Please bring extra judges and note that they are being sent to give you a round off.

Judges may be entered on tabroom until Tuesday, March 21st at 6:00 PM..
