Event Information

Welcome to the event page for the North Texas mini-conference! This conference will primarily be aimed at helping L1 judges improve their knowledge and skills, however anyone is welcome to attend and join in the discussions.

We are currently working with Judge Academy to have foil support, but as of right now that has not been confirmed. If we do get foil support, per Judge Academy rules only USA-South region judges who are Academy-certified by the cut-off date will be eligible to recieve a foil packet mailed to them after the conference. With that being said, any judge is welcome to attend the conference!
