Judge

The event organizer adds one or more judges on the settings page. Judges names show up on the front page of the event. Clicking on a judge name will take you to a page with actions and reports that are of interest to judges.

Judges can either enter scores directly into the application or record scores on paper for later data entry. Event organizers will configure this using settings, and will print judge heat books from the publish page.

See Scoring for more information on online scoring.

If you have multiple judges and large heat sizes, you might want to enable Assign judges couples to evaluate? in the settings. If enabled, this will add an On floor checkbox and Assign judges button on every judge page.

Before the event begins, uncheck On floor for every backup judge, then click Assign judges once. Use the Score heats - radio interface. The couples assigned to you will be at the top of the list with their back numbers circled in red. There will also be a blank space separating your assignments and the remaining couples on the floor.

Assignments are just a suggestion - nothing prevents you from judging additional couples or different couples entirely.

If a judge goes on break, return to the judge’s page and uncheck On floor for that judge. If there is a backup judge to replace them, check On floor for their replacement. Once complete, push Assign judges. Only heats that have yet to be judged will have their assignments changed. Feel free to repeat this process as many times as necessary during the course of the event.
