Judges are supplied by type of debate (LD or PF.) Fractions of judge requirement may not cross between divisions. For example: A school has 2 LD and 1 PF team. They are expected to supply 2 judges for the state tournament. Additionally, if a school has 2 LD debaters they are responsible to supply a full judge. The head coach is expected to be in the judge pool as they are the most qualified individual to judge the tournament. Head coaches can be exempted if they have a certified, trained judge who is eligible to judge Division I. To be used in Division I, judges must be at least in their third year out of high school. It is expected that judges in Division I have substantial experience and training in judging debate. Judges will be available to hire through the tournament at the usual rate for the host school. These judges will be arranged through the State Debate Tournament Manager. Checks for these judges will be made to the host school who will pay the judges hired by the tournament manager. | 5-0 | 7-0 | 9-0 | ||
