<p class=MsoNormal><u>Judging:</u> A judge must be provided for every two
policy teams, four LD debaters, two Public Forum teams, or four individual
events entries. <span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Each judge will be
assigned to one school.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Any judge with
additional conflicts should note said conflicts on the entry form.<span

that hired them a penalty fine of $50.00 per round. In addition, please take
care to provide judges qualified to judge the divisions your school is entered
in.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>This is the only way to guarantee
that the judging is of the highest standards. All judges are expected to remain
available for all rounds until one beyond the time that their team is
eliminated. </p>

<h2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Judging
Responsibilities<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Each school is expected to supply one judge for every four
debaters or speakers entered. We prefer not to hire "half-judges"
although in special conditions we will try to hire a round or two to coaches
who wish to see one of their teams. If you ask us to hire a judge for you and
then end up finding one of your own, we will not subtract that judge's payment
from the amount that you owe us. Instead, we will be happy to hire that person
on a per round basis--and you can make arrangements for that person to rebate
you out of the money that they receive. UNDER NO CONDITIONS CAN JUDGES BE HIRED
OUT AT REGISTRATION. Additionally, we expect that every judge will fill out a
complete ballot for every round. Ballots are for the coaches. The fact that you
disclosed a decision and explained it is not an excuse for not filling out a
ballot. Judges cannot be replaced without the direct permission of the tab
room. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Tab
Room<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>The tab room will be run with the Tab Room on the PC
computer program. We will be using mutually preferred judging in varsity policy
and random judge placement in other divisions. Pairings will be done according to
the schedule designations. The program is a simple one that only requires that
information be loaded. </p>

<h2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Directions<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Samford is very easy to find. If you are coming from the
South into <st1:City w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:City>, I-65 provides the easiest
access to the campus. Take I-65 until you come to the Lakeshore Drive Exit.
Take the exit and take a right when you reach the stoplight. You will be on <st1:City
w:st="on">Lakeshore Drive</st1:City>. Continue through the light at <st1:City
w:st="on">Greensprings Highway</st1:City>. At the next light, about a mile down
the road, take a left into the Samford Campus. Most of the debates will be in
Brooks hall. To get to Brooks hall, take a right at the top of the hill when
you pull into the driveway. You will circle the campus until you reach the
upper right corner.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Brooks hall is the
building that is next to the University Chapel.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='tab-stops:right 6.0in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Coming from the North is just as simple. Take I-65 through
the city until you come to the <st1:City w:st="on">Lakeshore Drive</st1:City>
exit. At the top of the exit take a left. Continue through the <st1:City w:st="on">Greensprings
Highway</st1:City> light and go about a mile to the next light. Samford will
be on the left.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Parking is always a problem on the Samford campus.
Fortunately, once you find a legal parking space, it is unlikely that you will
have to move during the day. Please park legally—there is nothing I can do to
get you out of a ticket.</p>
