Judges Needed for Upcoming Speech & Debate Tournament!

I've been a Community Judge for the last 2 years and it is an AMAZING thing to witness! These homeschool students work so hard and I encourage you to attend or judge if you can. No experience necessary!

The Clarion Forensics Speech and Debate Club is excited to announce that we are hosting the Clarion Qualifier for Region II of the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association! This tournament will host competitors from around our multi-state region. Top competitors from this tournament will be qualified to compete at the Regional tournament in May. This three day event will be in Medford, Oregon from March 1-3. We invite you to help make this event possible as a community judge. No experience in debate or judging is needed. We would be honored to have you participate as a judge in this event.

The National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) is the third largest high school speech and debate league in the nation, comprised of home educated middle and high school students from 44 states. For more information, please visit: http://www.ncfca.org/ .

This is the last of several qualifying tournaments that will be held around our region. We can only provide this opportunity to students with the participation of many community, parent and alumni judges. We will provide an essential, but relatively brief, non-technical, orientation for you on the day you choose to judge at the tournament. We have a team that will be providing food and beverages for our judges throughout each day.

This event will include 10 speech events and 2 types of debate. On the judge registration page, you will be able to mark the time slot you are available to judge and whether you would like to judge speech or debate. Of course, we would love to have you judge more than one event, but are very happy if you can come to judge even one event. We think you will enjoy watching these student presentations. You should expect that judging one round, including an orientation and time to complete your ballot will take 2 – 2 ½ hours. The judge registration page will instruct you about the arrival time for the round you choose to judge.

To accept our invitation to judge please link to the following page:

Once you are on that page, please select the far right tab that says “judges”, on the next screen, you will click on the portion of the US Map for our region (the red Region II). From there, you will select the Clarion Qualifier and then be able to complete your registration and select your judging time.

Location: Bethel Church
