  • If you click on the link below it will send you the Handbook with all the judges information.

    Important to remember that you, as a judge, do not need to worry about the time you just need to write it down on the provided comment sheet.
    If a timer malfunctions DO NOT let that effect how you rank the competitors.
    Also, there are now Speaker/Performance points. These are located at the bottom of the judges comment sheet. Please make sure to circle one number on how you thought the competitor did. (This information is used in case of a tie).

    Thank you so much for taking the time to participate in the Speech, Drama and Debate Meet!
