Judges

Prior to the ALSA Conference, Student Judges will be supplied, via email, with the question and bench book, the ALSA competition rules for the competition they are judging and the ALSA Student Judges Guide.

All documents will be anonymous, with teams all given a numerical identification code. Judges are to ask for the last names of the competitors, however, in order to complete the scoresheets. This anonymity will remain throughout the entire process and is crucial to the fairness and nature of the competition.

Before each session at Conference, Judges will report to a central hub to liaise with a Judging Coordinator, who will provide you with a hard copy of all the relevant materials for the following sessions.
