Assigning Work to Judges

Assigning Work to Judges

Create work assignments that tell each judge exactly what to evaluate at your faire.

Before you start

• You need Admin or Owner role
• Required permission: judges:assign
• You should have judges added and organized into groups

Steps

1. Go to the Assign Work page

Navigate to Judging → Assign Work in the sidebar. You’ll see your judges organized by category.

2. Create a work assignment

Click Add Assignment. Give it a title that describes what the judge will do — something like “Evaluate Biology Projects, Table 1-5” or “Score Presentations, Room 204.”

3. Add details

Fill in the description with specifics about the assignment. Use the notes field for anything the judge should keep in mind — timing, special instructions, room locations.

4. Assign judges

Pick judges from the list or type to search by name. You can assign one judge or several to the same assignment.

5. Bulk-assign work

Select multiple judges using the checkboxes, then click Assign Work. Pick an existing assignment or create a new one. All selected judges get the same assignment.

6. Track progress

The Assign Work page shows each assignment’s status. You can see which judges have work and which still need assignments. Use this view to spot gaps before faire day.

Good to know

• A judge can have multiple work assignments. This is normal if someone is covering more than one area.
• Editing an assignment updates it for every judge attached to it. You don’t need to update each judge separately.
• Judges see their assignments when they log into the judge portal. Make sure your titles and descriptions are clear enough to follow without extra explanation.
• You can remove a judge from an assignment without deleting the assignment itself.
