Adding and managing judges

Go to Admin → Judging → Judges. This lists every judge already set up, with search by name or email. Click "+ New Judge" to add one: enter their name and email (an account is created for them), then tick which categories they should judge.

To change an existing judge's categories, or disable a judge, open them from the same list (Admin → Judging → Judges → click their name).

For assigning many judges across many categories at once (building a judging panel), use Admin → Judging → Allocate Judges instead of editing judges one at a time.

Other judging-related admin pages worth knowing about (all under Admin → Judging):

• Email Judges: send a message to some or all judges.
• Check Judging: see progress (who has/hasn't scored yet) per category.
• Review Comments: for programs where judge comments need admin review before entrants see them.
• On-site Judges: for the mobile/offline on-site scoring mode (a separate flow from panel judging).
• Results Release: controls when judges' scores/comments become visible to entrants.
