Parent Judging
1. To sign up for judging, please complete this form. We are currently taking requests for November and December.
2. Please consider where vacancies exist. While many parents prefer to judge at Ridge, we desperately need help at the other tournaments, particularly NYC and PA.
3. We usually have a very difficult time finding debate judges (LD and PF). If you're willing to learn, we could really use the help.
4. Tournaments are all-day affairs. Please plan on being present from Round I through the final rounds. We get fined when judges leave early (even with advance notice).
5. Please let us know if you need additional help with ballot writing. The students crave your feedback; we want to ensure you feel confident providing thoughtful and insightful ballots. REMEMBER: Your ballot might be the reason they get on the bus next week!
6. Please setup your accounts on Tabroom.com ahead of the tournament date. You can signup for a www.tabroom.com account (most national and regional tournaments) at https://www.tabroom.com/user/login/new_user.mhtml. Access a help document here.
Speechwire.com (CFL and NJSDL events) will supply an email where you can create an account.

Parent Chaperones
|
PSeveral times during the year, Ridge Forensics travels outside the circuit to national level competitions, usually at major universities. During this travel, we need adults who can serve as judges/chaperones. Please keep in mind that judges and chaperones will be on call for the duration of the tournament for judging, check-ins and meetings. There is rarely time for sightseeing or tourism. They are expected to travel with the team and stay in the same hotel. Chaperones will have all transportation and lodging paid. Please contact me if you are interested in traveling with the team to these events. Any guests or other family members will be appropriately charged hotel and other incurred fees. Chaperoning one travel tournament will satisfy your family obligation as you are on call 24-7 during the travel.
Available events: Princeton University George Mason University, Fairfax, VA University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA Harvard University, Cambridge, MA CFL Grand Nationals, Chicago, IL NSDA National Championships, Albuquerque, NM Others may be added as scheduled. Please complete this form if you are interested. |
