  • April 6, 2004 - Important Announcement - We would like everyone who will be judging at Nationals to fill out a brief judging questionnaire and watch and evaluate a video of a demonstration round. Your rank as a judge at Nationals will be dependent upon both the information in the questionnaire and the quality of the RFD you write for the demonstration round. Please take a moment to review the point scale we will be using at Nationals before submitting your questionnaire. We apologize for the lateness of this request (we have experienced numerous difficulties digitizing this round) and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
