Thank you for your interest in participating as a citizen judge for the 2026 Coolidge Cup. Without you, we could not host this program without your support.
We encourage you to review details about this year’s tournament, including the daily schedule. Return to this page in the spring to find a short registration form for volunteers.
Citizen judges who plan to judge for the 9:00 AM round on any day should plan to arrive at 8:00 AM and partake in a live judge training session. We provide coffee and pastries! We ask all judges to attend a training session before judging their first round (you do not need to attend it multiple times). On the days when you judge, you are invited to participate in our on-site lunches and dinners. If you have any questions, contact Director of Speech and Debate, Jonathan Peele.
If you’d like, you can register in a different window here.
