REGISTER YOUR JUDGE TODAY!
Now that your team is registered and fees paid, it is critical that you recruit a judge right away. Judges have two opportunities for training and the first one is less than 2 weeks away. The longer you wait, the harder it will become to recruit a judge. People get busy, schedules fill up and finding a judge will become more difficult. Your judge can be a friend, co-worker, neighbor, grandparent, teacher, spouse or college student, as long as they are 18. Judges attend training either on Feb. 6 or 20. New judges attend from 8:30 to 3:00 and lunch is provided at no charge. Experienced judges attend from 1:00 to 3:00. Training is held at the Willow Creek Center, 1026 Mohr Lane in Concord.

CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR JUDGE'S RESPONSIBILITIES: Your judge will work the entire day of the tournament and WILL NOT see your team perform nor will they judge the problem in which your team is participating. They must be present for all of the presentations at their performance site. If they leave the performance site and miss a presentation we will have to void their scores for the entire day. It is critical that your judge take their responsibility seriously and arrive on time. Every team must provide a judge for the tournament in order to participate in the tournament.

REGISTER YOUR VOLUNTEER TODAY!
Your volunteer will work for 2 hours the day of the tournament and THEY WILL see your team perform. Volunteers do things like door monitoring, help man the concession booths and help with food service. Your volunteer will be notified as to their volunteer responsibility and schedule in mid February. Note that you use the same link to register your judge and volunteer. Volunteers do not attend training and the do not receive a tshirt.
