Judge notes:

You must fulfill your obligation or request a judge

Judges may be used in different pools at the discretion of the tab room(e.g., a congress judge may be placed in PF; an LD judge may be used in CX; a CX judge may be used in PF … or other combinations). Please make sure your judges are aware.

We will use ONLINE BALLOTING for all events. Be sure your judges have Tabroom accounts and they are set up, listed appropriately.

If a judge cannot judge a round, that is not a full judge, and a substitute for that time is necessary.
