 To a large extent the quality of the National Finals experience for students and teachers is based upon the expertise and demeanor of the judges. Seventy-two judges will participate in the competition on Saturday and Sunday and eighteen judges will participate on Monday. Please review the resources on this webpage. In addition, a packet will be available for you with more information at the National Finals information desk in the lobby of the Mason Inn on Friday evening and in the judges' orientation room on Saturday and Sunday.
