The competitive debate season runs October-December; during this time students will attend up to 6 tournaments throughout the Twin Cities. The vast majority of tournaments occur on Friday afternoon and evenings and all-day Saturday. Judges watch the debate round, evaluate teams on logic, effective argumentation, and speaking skills. They pick a winner and assign speaking points to individual students and provide written feedback on their decision. By volunteering you will save the league hundreds of dollars in judging fees and provide an invaluable service to the community, allowing us to support more students.
We are happy to work with you to be flexible with your needs and schedules, as you are doing a great service for the students in our program.
High School Judge volunteers will undergo a small training session that will educate them on the norms of high school debate, including debate evaluation, the style of the activity, and how to make effective and informative decisions. Aside from training, no prior experience is necessary.
