Judge at the Rendezvous
Adult volunteers help make fair, well-run competition possible. Head judges lead events they know, while assistants help with timing and scoring. New volunteers can learn alongside an experienced judge.
Adults registering with a ship sign up for 2 confirmed shifts to receive the lower adult rate; otherwise, the higher adult rate applies. Independent volunteers and committee members are also welcome. If you would like help choosing an event, submit an application for the committee to arrange your assignments.
