Fairview will host the Fairview Fall Festival on Saturday, February 8th, in person at Fairview High School. 

We encourage you to register to judge prior to the tournament to help us assess our judging needs.

  • Judges do not have to stay the whole day. 

  • You will need to check-in with the tournament directors when you arrive. 

  • We ask you to arrive ~30 minutes prior to the start of the round you are available to judge.
