This page contains videos and documents explaining all you need to know to judge at the RDT. We have said it over and over again, that judges are critical to the success of our tournament. Did you know we have 90 slots to fill to man all the ramps for the RDT? It is true. We cover nine ramps including two roving judges over a span of 3 days (60 hours) giving us a total of 10 shifts. To put on this tournament, if all judges take two sessions we need 45 judges on the beach. If each judge only takes one session we'd need 90 people! That's a lot of people. Sometimes people would like to judge but aren't sure what is involved so we created this page with we hope are helpful videos and documents for potential, new, or returning judges.
