Parent Judges
EACH registered student needs to have their own parent judging for them every day of the tournament. Students will need to have their parent physically with them at check in.
Thank you for your assistance to keep our tournament running on time. Please plan on judging every other round, and check with the ballot push table 30-45 minutes before each round to see what the judging needs are for the upcoming round.
