Welcome, (much appreciated) parents of the Solon Speech & Debate Team.
Speech and Debate is a competitive event that heavily relies on volunteers like you to not only continuously support your children competing, but also to judge tournaments. Thus, in order for a tournament to run successfully, each team must bring a certain number of judges per student to the tournament. The requirement is typically one judge for every 4-5 students you bring in Individual Events (IE) and one judge for every two debate teams. While coaches can serve as judges, they are not nearly be enough to cover the requirements of each host school. Therefore, we need students to provide judges for the tournaments. They can be parents, grandparents, older brothers and sisters, other family members or friends—just as long as they have graduated high school and are over 18 years of age.
