Thank you for signing up to JUDGE at our tournament which is on March 5 this year.  We appreciate you making this big time commitment for our Redwood teams.

 If you reached this page by error, and want to sign up at the tournament as the team's VOLUNTEER, go to our Redwood website and use the Sign Up Genius link.

Judges are required to attend:

• Judges Training: will be online through Zoom on Feb. 5. Time and Link will be emailed to the email on your registration.  You must be trainied by the Problem Captain. NO EXCEPTIONS FOR LONG-TERM JUDGES.  Experienced Spontaneous Judges should contact Cathy Parker. .
• Tournament Day: We suspect that our tournament this year will be shorter.  We are still finalizing COVID safety protocols. Judges need to have PROOF OF VACCINATION.  It is an ALL DAY event, so please do not schedule other events during the main part of the day.  Judges will likely need to arrive at the tournament around 8:00-8:30 A.M. and not leave until after the last team in their problem performs, probably around 3:00 P.M or sooner.
• State Finals: Judges fulfilling the team requirement must also be available to judge at the NorCal State Finals on March 26 at Adams MS in Brentwood, should the team advance.    We hope that you will judge at the State tournament, even if the team does not advance since that tournament is also in our region.  If you are willing to judge at both tournaments, regardless of whether the team advances, please state so in the comment section.  Thank you.

By being a JUDGE for Odyssey of the Mind, you are the face that team members see and YOU represent the program.  So please SMILE when talking with team members and maintain a FRIENDLY ATTITUDE throughout the entire tournament.

If you are a parent of a team member competing at our tournament, you may NOT sign up to judge the same problem in which your child is competing.  You will need to know the name of your child's problem, their school membership name, and the membership number during this registration process.  It is highly unlikely that you will have the opportunity to see your child's performance at the tournament.

We need ACCURATE INFORMATION during registration.  The email listed should be the JUDGE's EMAIL, not the coach's or the school coordinator's email.  Please use the best contact phone number that can be used on the day of the tournament; cell phone numbers are preferred. We also need the correct T-shirt size for the judge.  All judges receive a free Official's t-shirt as our appreciation for your commitment and service at our tournament.  These shirts must be worn on tournament day to help identify the judges.

Best Regards,
Bob Lipman & Cathy Parker
