If you are hiring judges and/or failed to enter judges, you have been charged for the hired judges and that should be reflected on your invoice.. <b>For those of you who did not attend the First & Second Year Tournament, you are required a judge bond - please bring a SEPARATE check for $100 to cover your judges.</b></font></div>

For those who are not aware, all speech preliminary pairings are done prior to the tournament to ensure quality judging and entry placement.
