WAYS TO VOLUNTEER

Become a Tournament Judge

​

Dallas Urban Debate tournaments are rigorous academic competitions. For our students, tournaments are a rare opportunity to have their ideas about important issues considered seriously by adults. Judging is a great way to interact with and help our students by observing them during competition and providing feedback. 

Judges are vital to the success of tournaments! No experience required.

There are three QUICK steps required to serve as a judge.
