2009 CX Debate State Meet - Information Form for Judges Hired by UIL

You should only fill out this form if the UIL State Office has already confirmed that you will be hired by the League to serve as a UIL Hired CX Judge. If you are interested in judging but have not received an invitation or been previously contacted by the UIL office, you first will need to complete the Judge Interest Form and then follow-up with an email to UIL Speech & Debate notifying us of your interest in judging at the CX Debate State Meet.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS (Please read entirely before beginning!):
Thank you for agreeing to judge at the 2009 UIL CX Debate State Meet. Please complete this form by Friday, February 13, 2009.

We are required to have a Payee Form (PIF) for all judges being paid by UIL. In addition, we must have a photocopy of your driver's license or Social Security card.

The PIF requires a signature so you will need to return it via fax: (512-232-7311) or by mail:
University Interscholastic League
Attn: Ramona Heard
PO Box 8028
Austin, TX 78713.

Click here to download the PIF in Adobe PDF format. Contact Jana Riggins if you have questions.

Fill in all requested information. Blanks marked with an asterisk (*) are REQUIRED; you will not be able to submit your form without completing them. Please DO NOT type in all caps or all lowercase; type using normal case only. Be sure to review your information carefully.

After you have completed all requested information, you must click the "Submit" button in order for your information to be sent to the UIL state office. Hit the Submit button only once, and then wait for your confirmation page.

The confirmation page states specifically that your form has been submitted, and lists the date and time of submission. If you do not see this confirmation, we have not received your form - please try again.

If you see a page with "Error" at the top, this means we have not received your form. Most likely, you have omitted some required information. Hit your browser's "Back" button, and review all required information.


IMPORTANT
