As the busy spring tournament season approaches, the Speech Committee would like to remind all parents to attend Judge Orientation. Whether in your first year or your tenth year of Stoa, you need to go to Judge Orientation annually. Here are some reasons why this is important:  


  • Presents rule changes to each event

  • Introduces new ballots

  • Creates a level playing field for our students

  • Enables layered learning (you learn new aspects each time you attend)

  • Provides new parents an opportunity to learn from experienced parents


Club leaders and tournament directors, encourage your tournament parents to attend Judge Orientation to create a fair and unbiased tournament for your students.
