Judging at Tournaments

Not sure how to judge tournaments? Check out the California High School Speech Association's (CHSSA) judging guide. It includes instructions and videos on how to judge both speech and debate events! In addition, there is another guide by NSDA that provides information about event basics and how to fill out ballots.

When writing your judge paradigm, please utilize the following template we have provided for you. Do NOT simply write “parent judge”.
