- As head judge,
use your knowledge and experience to know and direct the judges on what is
fair (concerning penalty points)
- Try to make
sure the judge's scores are no more than 6 pts apart
- Make sure that
the judges are making plenty of oral comments on tape
- As each
group/team performs, you are to keep your own notes on performances you
feel are outstanding. Your notes will be helpful when discussing Judges
Awards and Best Overalls.
- After each
officer/team category collect the results for Judges Awards. Make sure you
ask them to think about every age group...LE, INT, JR, SR PRVT, SMALL
SCHOOL, MED SCHOOL, LRG SCHOOL. Judges do NOT have to choose an award in
all of the age groups, but they need to think about them. If ever in
doubt, give the award rather than not.
- As you are
collecting the JAs compare the judge's choices to yours...Make sure teams
and outstanding performances don't fall through the cracks. It is up to
you to bring any missed performances to the judges attention.
- As the judges
send their score sheets to you, please make note of high scores in the
areas of Choreography, Technique, Presentation, etc. for the Best Overall
Awards. Remind judges to keep their own personal notes on these awards as
well.
- Once the JAs
have been decided, send the results to the Tally Administrator ASAP!
- Keep a
"tally" of the number of special awards earned by each team.
This will give you an idea of awards distribution and to make sure all
deserving teams are covered. |
