Judging qualifications:
I have judged a variety of invitational meets the past 7 years. I mainly judge prose/poetry and extemporaneous, but I have judged a few debate rounds. I have judged at the 3A regionals meet in 2021 and the 2022 and 2023 state meets. I have had state qualifiers in both oral interpretation and extemporaneous speaking in 2021 - 2023, so I know what I am looking for; I am also consistent and fair in all my judging. Since this school year just started, I have not judged any yet, but am looking forward to the first contest.
