  • Your Availability

    This section will not assign you to specific Rounds. It just lets us know when you are available so we can make the assignments. So we can match our volunteers to our needs, we want to know when you are available to help, how many Rounds you can do, and what preference to Rounds you have. You will receive an email from the Event Committee providing your specific Round assignments, along with information as to exact times and locations, around the second week of May. In the meantime, please be sure to block out the dates and times you indicate below to avoid conflicts with the calendar.
  • First, let us know when you are available to serve. This is not signing you up for these specific Rounds; this is telling us when you would be able to help if asked.
  • Next, based on your availability above, how many Rounds would you ideally like to serve? i.e. – You’re available all four times, but only want to do two Rounds. Of course, the more the better!
    Please enter a number from 1 to 4.
  • Finally, based on your availability above, please let us know if you have any preferences as to which round(s) you would prefer to serve. NOTE: Due to the time restraints of a virtual competition, judges can only serve one round per day. If you can’t do a specific Round, make sure it’s not checked off above. If you don’t have a preference, check those that match your availability above.
  • Please let us know if you would prefer to be a presiding judge or a scoring judge. This will help us make assignments. If you are comfortable serving in either role, please indicate that; this will give us the most flexibility throughout the competition.
  • Please let us know what conflicts you have with teams attending Nationals. Conflicts include: 1) You are a part of this team’s state-organizing committee 2) You judged this team at a previous competition this season. 3) You coached a team against this team this season. 4) You are personally familiar with the coaches and/or students on a team.
