Judge Information
Before the Tournament
1
If you haven't judged a Colorado Speech and Debate tournament or want a refresher please select the "How to Judge" button below.
2
Having access to Tabroom is a necessity to Judge this tournament. Please make sure that you can login to Tabroom.com by selecting the button below (with the email you got the link to this site from). You will get your ballots and notifications from Tabroom so it is imperative to do so.
Day of the Tournament
2
Judge training will happen at 7:40 AM MDT in the Judge's Lounge. Please make sure you are there and have checked in by that time.
3
You will be notified via email and by text (if you provided your cell provider to Tabroom) that you have a round. Log into Tabroom (you should be there already) and click on your name in the upper right of the webpage. This will always have your current and past rounds and ballots.
4
Once you received a ballot, click on the big green button "start ballot". This will show you if it is a live event in the upper left a video icon which will take you to your NSDA room. If it is not a live speech event, you will be presented with links to each of the competitors' pieces for you to review and provide ranks and points.
5
Provide ranks and points as soon as you are done with watching the debate or performances. You can put comments in throughout the day. Putting the ranks/win and points allows us to start scheduling the next round as soon as possible.
If you need assistance
If you have any questions, there is someone who is staffing the Judge's Lounge that can help you. There will be people monitoring rooms to ensure competitors, and you make it to your rooms and start judging.
