Because competitors will frequently be competing at the same time their parents are judging, ASDA encourages parents to find alternative care for their children under the age of 8.

If a parent decides to bring children younger than competition age, the children will need to stay with their parents at all times. Younger children being confined to competition rooms while their parents are performing other duties has a high potential of becoming a poor experience for the younger child, the judges and the competitors in the room.
Please enter your initials in the field to indicate that you have read and agree to the above statement regarding ASDA's expectations for children under the age of 8.*
Initials

Adult Representative
Adults at tournaments serve a variety of purposes. They are chaperones, coaches, judges, staff, and emergency contacts for competitors. For this reason, it is essential that each competitor submit the name and contact information of their Adult Representative(s) when they register for each tournament.

Parents are the preferred Adult Representative. Parents can fill all the above roles for their competitors. When parents are at the tournament with their competitors, they should expect to judge more than half the rounds, assist with compliance concerns, and serve on staff. However, when a parent is not available to serve as the Adult Representative, parents may designate a different chaperone by filling out a release waiver and recruiting one or more additional adults willing to judge more than half the rounds at the tournament. Coaches can expect to chaperone their competitors, judge, serve on staff, and help their competitors find additional judges willing to fill the necessary judge opportunities. Coaches or other adults may serve as the designated adult representative for a maximum of four students.

Competitors will not be allowed to participate without a designated adult representative onsite the entire time the competitor is at the ASDA tournament or event.
Will the parent or guardian attend the tournament with his competitor(s)?*

YesNo

Judges
Judge recruitment is essential for tournaments to run, and competitors need judges to compete and learn from their feedback.

Each family is required to provide at least one judge that will be available for half the tournament rounds. Usually, this requirement is filled by a parent or a designated adult representative. This judge will be pre-assigned to several rounds and will be asked to judge both debate and speech events. Parents of varsity competitors may watch their children only during periods when they are not assigned to judge.

In addition to parent judges, each competitor is required to recruit at least one community judge. We need many community judges to enhance the quality of tournaments and feedback to students. Competitors should invite adults in their network including extended family, friends, colleagues, teachers, coaches, etc. to support them as a community judge.
Will an additional parent or guardian be present and able to judge during the tournament?*

YesNo

Photo and Video Release Form for Competitors and their Families
American Speech and Debate Association (ASDA) often takes video and photographic footage of tournaments to use for promotional material, the ASDA website, and other electronic platforms used by ASDA. Once these videos/photos have been taken, they remain the property of ASDA and can therefore be used for the above previously stated purposes, even if the person is no longer participating with the American Speech and Debate Association.

I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve the finished videos/photographs and/or printed or electronic matter that may be used in conjunction with them now or in the future, whether that use is known to me or unknown. I also waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of the video/photograph.

I grant permission for myself and/or my child(ren) to be photographed and filmed during the ASDA tournament for promotional material and for the continued use by the American Speech and Debate Association. A parent or guardian signature is required for students under the age of 18 years.
