Keep in mind that you are only competing with the teams at your tournament so any help you can provide to prior or subsequent tournaments is fine.  In fact, we encourage it.  As a former coach it is very helpful to sit on a judging panel.  You learn a lot about what “right” looks like and how the process works.  And, from a tournament director’s perspective it is also very helpful to have fully engaged volunteers as well as coaches who are familiar with the tournament structure.

Is it correct, a coach of a local team can judge a local tournament before or after his/her team has competed?  Recently heard a coach judged a local tournament the week before his/her team competed and the following week his team competed and was selected to advance to states.  I always thought it would be a conflict of interest and have not volunteered to judge until my kids age out.
Thanks!
