On Saturday, November 12th, James E. Taylor High School will be hosting its annual TFA High School Tournament. Judges are the most important part of operating an efficient tournament. We are currently looking for volunteers to judge a variety of events ranging from extemporaneous speaking to original oratory to dramatic interpretation. All adults who graduated from high school in 2022 or earlier are eligible to judge.  All ballots will be online this year through the Tabroom website, so all judges will need a Tabroom account to participate.  You can create a Tabroom account at www.Tabroom.com.  Here is a video on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyTqMwhRJpo   

We will host a judging clinic on November 9th in the Taylor debate room (1909) at 7 PM for anyone who would like additional instruction on creating a Tabroom account, evaluating speech competition, or entering electronic ballots.  We will also have help available in the judges room during the tournament.  Here is a video on judging with Tabroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prCyYf-KbM0 If You are judging a debate round on Friday, here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SrO56i4M1I
