1. Preliminary Mandatory Judge Information Session
Prior to attending in-person training, judges are required to review the Judge Training Preliminary Materials, by one of these forms:
-
attending the January Round Table Zoom Meeting focused on Judging - see EVENTS tab for date - recommended for new judges,
-
review the Judge Round Table Zoom Video from a prior year - on Video+ Tab, OR
-
review the Judge Round Table power point - on Video+ Tab. Recommended for experienced judges, only.
2. Mandatory In-Person Training for all Judges
Note: There is no registration for Judge Training. Because training is mandatory,
everyone who registers as a judge will be expected at training.
This is a mandatory training session for all judges, Long Term and Spontaneous, who will be judging at the WPA Regional Competition, PA State Finals, or Spontaneous Fun Day. The teams have worked long and hard on their solutions, thank you for helping us give them well informed and thoughtful judges to assess their work! At training, you will get in-depth knowledge of the problem you will be judging by your Problem Captains - and learn what is expected on competition day.
​​
Please bring the following materials to Judge Training:
-
The Membership Name, Problem # and Division of the team you represent.
-
If you are a Long–term Judge, you will need a copy of the Long-term problem that you will be judging.
-
If you are a Spontaneous Judge, you do not need a copy of the Long–term problem.
