Paper Judging Guide for Your review  

  • Please note that once you register, unless we hear from you IN ADVANCE OF THE DAY, we are counting on you to hold your commitment to judge your entire shift. The students are depending on, and expect minimum of (5) judges in each paper room. It is very difficult to find "on the spot" judges when people do not show up to cover shifts. Thank you for your understanding.
