JUDGE TRAINING
To become certified, participants must watch the debate training videos from above as well as the judge videos, pass an online test, judge a pre-recorded debate, and submit a ballot for review.
OCDL will contact you with your results afterwards.
You only need to submit ONE ballot however, you may be asked to judge a second debate based on your ballot results. We recommend starting with the Barbie debate but you can choose either or both.
