Judges Training 2024-2025

Thank you for volunteering to judge for Delaware Odyssey of the Mind!

Without you it would not possible to put on our tournaments. Our creative students from schools and organizations across the state are depending on you and we appreciate the time you are willing to give us and this program.

There are three components to judges training. All judges, both new and experienced, must complete all three components. 

Click here to see general descriptions of the judging positions.

The first component is an online General Training. 

This training is required for all judges as judges must be certified/re-certified each year. 

The online training is a narrated, one-hour PowerPoint presentation that has been uploaded to YouTube. You can watch the training at any time. The PowerPoint is linked here (also viewable as a PDF here).

If you have any questions, please email training@deootm.org.

The second component of judges training is the certification test. 

After you complete the online training module, you need to take a 20-question multiple-choice test to confirm participation in the online training component.

The certification test can be found here. 

Online Training is not considered complete until the certification test is submitted.

Lastly, you will need to appear to judge the Qualifying Tournament on Saturday, March 8, 2025. 

Please allocate all day for our event.

Judges who will also judge the State Finals Tournament will need to have Saturday, April 5, 2025, available as well.

Thank you again for volunteering to support creativity and the students in Delaware!
