Please review the following parameters.
1. Every competitor must be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone who is 21 years or older.
2. Chaperones must carry signed Medical Release forms for their students. In order to meet the judging needs, each chaperone may only cover 1 additional student outside of their own children. You can find forms on the internet and other tournament websites.
3. All parents are expected to judge. You will need to register as a judge before completing your student registration. For each debate event that your student(s) are registered in, you must judge at least 3 rounds. For each speech event that your student(s) are registered in, you must judge at least 2 rounds.
4. All parents must report to Ballot Push 30 minutes prior to each round to assure that all judging slots are filled.
5. We will be enforcing Stoa's Code of Conduct which can be found under Stoa Membership
6. If you have a unique circumstance that does not allow you to fulfill the above requirements, then please email the tournament director listed below:

7. As a general rule, parents with young children (under 12) must make arrangements for them to be supervised at all times. Our facility and tournament cannot provide supervision for small children and parents are needed to judge. Since parents are liable for the behavior of their children, the tournament is not conducive to children being left unattended by an adult.
Thank you for your commitment to these students. We hope that you have a great tournament!
Sincerely,
The Espresso Cup Tournament Staff
