Judges' scores

Once you have assigned categories to your judges, and your judging has opened, you can monitor the progress of each of your judges.

When your judges have completed their assignments, you can check results, override if needed, and begin identifying your finalists and/or winners.

Each judging round is completely independent so scores from each round will be saved and can be referred back to.

Reviewing scores per judge

To find and track judge progress, go to Awards > Judging, and choose your judging round.

Click on the Judging tab. Here, you will see all judges that have been assigned categories for them to judge.

You will see how much assigned work has been completed per judge, and expanding each judge will let you see progress per category. You will see the judges score in comparison to the overall score as well as have the opportunity to view the feedback.

Reviewing Overall Scores

In the Nominations tab, each category will show the percentage completed, and each entry will have an overall score. This score an average of all judges' scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

The system will also rank and order the entries based on scores, so the entry with the highest score at the top of the category.

Any feedback that judges have submitted can be reviewed by clicking on the 💬 speech bubble beside each entry.

Overriding judge scores

If necessary, you can override judges scores. The overridden score will always be used in all calculations and rankings. You can override the overall score that a nomination has received, or a score provided by an individual judge.


Overall Score

If more than one judge has judged a nomination, the overall score will be the average of all judges' scores, to the nearest whole number.

To change the overall score, go to the Nominations tab, find the entry you wish to change the score of, and click Edit Result.

In the column labelled Override, type in a new score. Click Save.
