Judge Advisors NOTE: JAs should inform their judges that mentors aren't to be engaged as part of the judging process. An incident occurred at an event last week where a judge, during a team's judging session, repeatedly directed questions to the observing mentors. The mentors were reluctant to respond as, per the rules, they knew they were supposed to speak during judging which caused confusion and tension for all. It is recommended that judges welcome teams into the room with a kind word and a smile. Then, ask the team if they have a presentation (less than 10 minutes) or if they'd prefer to go right to Q&As. This will help alleviate that awkward moment when no one knows what to do next! |
