For the Students:

NPDA TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT

- EXTEMP PREP ROOM 

- STUDENT LOUNGE where we hope competitors from different schools can gather and hang out with one another.

- HELP ROOM - a place to turn to have your emergency questions answered.

 

For the Coaches/Judges:

Please Check-In / Register in at the HOSPITALITY HUB at the start of each day's competition.  

Check our our Northern California Judge Handbook for our regional judging information.

JUDGE LOUNGE & STAND BY room. If you do not have a ballot please hang out here immediately before the rounds of competition.  When all the ballots are out an annoucement will be made and/or an email notice will be sent that will release you.  

HELP ROOM - a place to go with your questions.

You can try out a SAMPLE BALLOT ahead of time to familiarize yourself with online judging and the balloting process.

You can create your own team room.   Begin with https://8x8.vc/     Add your team name, something like bestschoolever(and add a 10-digit random number)   This will create something like https://8x8.vc/bestschoolever3650976386     This room will be live for you to use all season.  

Judges Please Accept Your Ballot Immediately After Being Notified: Once you receive the email or text with your ballot, please accept the ballot. That way the tab room knows you will be there to judge the round.  

 

For Everybody:

If you are having connection issues

1. Use a different browser (Chrome works best). Make sure you are in ONLY one room at a time.

2. Reboot your computer.

3. Make sure your mic, camera, and speaker settings are operational.

4. If you are using a tablet or phone use the 8x8meet APP instead of a browser.

5. Test your internet. You need a minimum of 6mbps. https://www.speedtest.net

6. Seek help in the help room.

Empty RoomIf you or one of your students is sitting ALONE AND ONTIME in an empty 8x8 room, something is wrong. Jump into the Help Room.

Observers:  In order to avoid "8x8 bombing" we cannot post the competition room URLs publicly.  Once emails (for the postings/rounds) go out, competitors and coaches can share their room-link with teammates, friends, and family.  Guests are welcome to observe. Observers should turn their mic off.
