Judges – Registration

Registering as a Judge

Sign Me Up! I want to be an Odyssey of the Mind Judge.

Registration for the 2025 tournament season is open!

What you need to know:

Don’t limit yourself! Returning judges are welcome to register for one or both Qualifying Tournaments.
If you are representing a team, please confirm which tournament your team will be attending and register for the same tournament. If you are unaffiliated (independent / not representing a team), you may choose either tournament.

Register Now!

Zoom Training: After you complete the HQ process, you will be automatically redirected to register for our live Zoom training. All judges must attend one live Zoom training session. The live Zoom trainings are 90 minutes long, and will take place on Wednesday, January 22nd from 7-8:30pm, and Saturday, Jan 25th from 10-11:30am. Please select one training date and complete your registration.

Confirmation: You will receive an automated confirmation email confirming your judge registration. Please check spam folders as this message often goes to spam. This email will include links to the online training and Zoom registration.

After registering for the Zoom session, you will receive a separate automated confirmation email from Zoom.

We are a completely volunteer-run organization and your interest in judging in NorCal Odyssey is what makes the events amazing for the students. If you have any questions please contact Cheri Meadows, NorCal Officials Director.

Thank you!
