Judge Information

Many thanks to the over 200 community judges who help make the Clash Tournament go!

Whatever round(s) you are judging, you need to be at the judges orientation about 35-40 minutes before the start of your first round.  

Team Policy Judge Manual (old fashioned, 20th century style)

Judge's Training Online Tutorial for Team Policy (powerpoint slides with audio narrative, 21st century style)

NOTE TO JUDGES! The online orientation materials are intended to be informative background information, for those seeking in-depth preparation. You don't need to memorize this content, the orientation will suffice to equip you for your round(s).  Have fun and enjoy yourself, we appreciate your participation!

This year, our on-campus location for judge orientation is the FOX Center.

West Valley College
