Adjudicators & judging teams

Everything you need to judge the performance in front of you.

Squadzee turns an assignment into a focused workspace for scoring, private deliberation and carefully reviewed results.

  • Assigned
  • Score
  • Review
  • Complete

Good judging needs a calm workspace

Your attention belongs on the act—not on finding the correct section, track or scorecard.

A judging day combines concentrated scoring with constant movement through sections and acts. Unclear assignments or stale music information take attention away from the decision itself.

Squadzee keeps assigned work, scoring progress, private award ideas and result review separate but connected.

Connected tools, clear handoffs

What Squadzee can do for adjudicators.

Move from accepted assignment to completed results with the right context available at each decision.

Assignments

Open only accepted judging work

See events, rooms and sections where you score or lead as Chair after the relevant invitation and assignment are active.

Workspace

Know what is complete and what is next

Move from event to room to section to act with progress, next-unscored actions and the running order close at hand.

Context

See the performance in context

Review the line-up, permitted performer context, current music state and scorecard before making the decision.

Scoring

Submit complete, consistent cards

Score every required criterion independently, keep judge-only working notes, add feedback intended to be shared, and continue to the next act.

Shortlists

Share award ideas with the Chair

Star an act and add an award label or Chair note that stays hidden from other panel judges and entrants.

Results

Hand completed cards to the Chair

Keep panel progress separate from marks, then let the Chair review the locked aggregate and publish only when event policy gives them final authority.

One handoff at a time

A focused route from assignment to confirmed outcome.

Independent scoring, judge-only notes, shared feedback, Chair moderation and publication stay distinct while the event progresses.

  1. 01

    Accept the assignment

    Confirm the event invitation before expecting judging access.

  2. 02

    Check the section

    Verify the effective panel and Chair, act order, music state and scorecard.

  3. 03

    Score in sequence

    Complete every required criterion and continue through unscored acts.

  4. 04

    Keep deliberation separate

    Separate judge-only working notes, entrant feedback and award ideas shared with the Chair.

  5. 05

    Complete the panel handoff

    When every required card is in, the Chair reviews and confirms the aggregate before authorised publication.

Where the handoff matters most

The details people feel on a busy day.

Squadzee keeps the working detail close to the event decision it belongs to.

Focused adjudication

The scorecard follows the section; progress follows you.

Squadzee keeps the effective panel, Chair and current scorecard together, then guides each judge towards their next act and every Chair towards completed-panel work.

  • Confirm criteria before the first score locks their meaning.
  • Keep device-local drafts until you deliberately submit online.
  • Move through acts without losing section progress.

Deliberation and results

A private idea is not a score—and a reviewed result is not yet public.

Private working notes, shared feedback, panel award notes, score cards, Chair review, confirmation and publication each keep their own audience and authority.

  • Keep working notes private and entrant feedback intentional.
  • Wait for every panel card before the Chair sees the aggregate.
  • Publish only when the event permits the Chair or an organiser.

The competition itself

What Squadzee can do for a competition.

A competition is more than a list of acts. It is a chain of trusted decisions—from who enters which category to who can release the final result.

01

A clear field

Rooms and sections turn the programme into clear parallel plans, with each category keeping its own acts, timing and result.

02

A ready performance

Each entry keeps its representing account, performers and current event music together.

03

A fair decision

Every effective panel judge works from the intended scorecard, while a named Chair receives the complete-panel handoff.

04

A controlled result

Placements move through review and confirmation before the final board is published.

Ready when the event is

Bring every moving part into focus.
