INFORMATION FOR JUDGES & SCHOOL OWNERS:
1) I am continuing with the “Inspiration Appreciation” mission to thank our hard working judges. All judges, score keepers, and time keepers will be treated to delicious snacks and drinks throughout the day. I have a morning, late morning and early afternoon snack (drink included) that will be delivered to the rings by Inspiration volunteers.
2) At the end of each judging assignment, there will be a raffle ticket concealed within the ring packet to enter into a raffle which will occur at the end of the tournament day.

There will be a special gift from myself, the host, for those that attend for regional judging certification and of course snack and drinks for all the participants will be provided.
