Report Problematic Adjudicating

"*" indicates required fields

Step 1 of 2

50%

This form is for head coaches to report concerns with adjudication following any WISDAA middle/high speech contest. This form is NOT for adjudicators to complete during the festival; please return to the other forms for issues regarding rules (potential disqualification). Concerns must be reported within five (5) calendar days of release of results for the contest in question. Our office will investigate and subsequently communicate our findings.

Level*
ML Contest*
HS Contest*

You selected "Invitational" or "Conference." Please note the WHSFA only has jurisdiction over official Level 1 or 2, Subdistrict, District, and State Festivals. We can document poor practices by adjudicators at non-WHSFA festivals as potential cause for suspending or revoking certification, but cannot take corrective action with those contest results.

If you are past the five-day deadline for appealing an adjudicator score, you may register a complaint to remediate poor adjudication (which will be shared with the adjudicator and coach who hired them); select the "Remediation" option below.

Desired Outcome*
What primary outcome do you desire from completing this form? Please see disclaimer above if past the deadline.
Acknowledgement of Policy*
Limitation of review of adjudicator evaluations, as enumerated in WISDAA Rules for Speech (Middle Level or High School).


This form must be completed within five calendar days of the conclusion of the festival.



The WISDAA will not interpret adjudicators’ written comments, nor reconsider point deductions; we will only consider an adjudicator’s application of a rule or criterion.Should you wish to complain to remediate the adjudicator (which will be shared with the coach who hired them), click the [previous] button and select the "Remediation" option instead.



During the season, decisions of the Executive Director may be appealed to the Speech Referee Committee; decisions of the committee are final and cannot be appealed. Following the State Festival, decisions are made entirely by the Referee Committee.
Complainant Coach*
Include city, if not part of the school's name.
ML Category*
HS Category*
Please indicate when the student was adjudicated.
Nature of Concern*
Please indicate if this concern falls into any of the categories below; if not, select "other" and describe the concern in the next field.
Please be specific in terms of how the adjudicator did not apply a rule or criterion correctly.
