I am out of college but I go back to work for the college in a part-time capacity as a hired judge for the debate program. We are at a tournament down in the Dallas-Forth Worth area and on the second day of the tournament I ended up passing on a ballot because of Vox.
I get to the tournament early in the morning and all of round 1 and round 2 are assigned. I have a round 2 ballot but not a round 1 ballot. I ask the judges table will you need me round 1; they say no. I then go find the tournament director and she tells me that all the ballots are out so I am not needed. Go to the judges lounge, setup the laptop, fire up ventrillo, log in my 52 bard and start tracking Vox who is late in window. Vox pops and we start mobilizing and that is when the tournament director comes over and starts telling me how someone took a judges ballot but the judge no-showed and won't answer their phone. I tell her sorry but I have already promised 20 some people in this video game that I would help them. The tournament director was mad, the debate coach was mad, everyone in the judges lounge was confused but Vox died.
