MANDATORY Each TEAM must provide one judge for the tournament. AND that judge must commit attending one of the 2 judges trainings and to judging at the State tournament, should the team advance. So it could be a parent of the team, who is willing to “take one for the team,” because parents will not be able to see their own child’s team compete at the tournament(s)…Be kind to whomever you get to judge.
So, the time commitment is for:
- 1 day of training (Feb. 2 or Feb. 9)
- Regional tournament – Feb. 23, full day
- Should the team advance, going to State Finals to represent the team
- NorCal Association State Finals – March 30, Maria Carrillo HS, Santa Rosa
Lunch provided for all of these days.
