• Double-check scores for accuracy before finalizing them to prevent errors in the final results.

Tips for Efficiency

• Encourage judges and MCs to use mobile devices for scoring convenience.

• Judges receive an email one hour before the competition to start scoring. Judges can also access the scoring page by going to their Dashboard.

• Regularly communicate with judges and MCs to address any issues or questions that may arise during the scoring process.

• Scores will come in real time for the director to see, and they will be ranked. 

• When there is a tiebreaker, it gives you the option to to select the winner. After conferring with the head judge, as you would with tradition paper vote, you will increase the score of the winner by one point. This system tracks tiebreakers, so if there is ever a question from a contestant, we have a record.
