Welcome, Judges and Officials at the TX State Competition.
EXPERIENCED Judges from the 2026 Regional Competitions
Judges are asked to advance to the State tournament 3 days after Regionals, to provide team credit.
WHO:
All judges representing teams that advanced from any region. (Required for team credit).
Any Community judges from local hosting region (optional but very welcome).
Any judge from non-advancing teams from local hosting region (optional but very welcome).
Appointed Officals
Just like at regionals, coaches should NOT register on behalf of judges. Judges must register themselves in order to agree to the terms and conditions of the State competition.
ADVANCE: Locate your confirmation email from when you registered for Regionals, it contains “TXOM Judge Registration” in the Subject line. Scroll to the bottom and click on “Edit My Response”. All your previous information will be preloaded. You only have to update 2-3 questions and submit.
You will mostly remain in the same problem/group where you served at Regionals, but Judge Positions will be adjusted by the Problem Captains to accommodate the full judging pool from the three regions.
Deadline to register for judges and officials: March 6th, 2026
Don't forget your funny hats!
