Each site will run rounds independently, so make sure you follow instructions from your site’s judge room for up-to-date times.

* Most league tournaments end earlier than this. The final round will be run as soon as possible, and awards will take place as soon as all ballots are turned in.

All judges will need an account at  Tabroom.com, as all ballots will be online (yes, this includes speech this year).

If you have not created a Tabroom account yourself, I have done so using the email address provided when your student registered for the tournament, with the default password “msjspeech”.

You also need to bring a timing device with you, as timing the rounds is required. If you prefer to use  your phone to do so (as I do), I suggest you bring a charger or backup battery with you to the tournament. Please also bring a pen or two, as the supplies available at the tournament are limited.

Since this may be the first time judging for many of you, I suggest reading over and/or bringing with you a copy of the Judges Handbook for Speech Events. It’s a bit out of date, since it doesn’t include any of the e-ballot instructions, but it’s a good primer on what it is you’ll be judging. To make up for that, I suggest also you read the Guide to E-Ballots.
