1. Some of the instructions are not covered in enough detail. Please keep in mind that people, a judge in my case, are not familiar with the information what the instructor is telling.
2. It would be helpful if the "Topic" were already filled in since administration will already know this or can get it and have it filled in. This has been a problem for me as an in-person judge in the past because it is sometimes difficult to determine what their topic is.
3. Community judges should not be a chief judge.
4. In several cases you have the same or nearly the same instructions for both parent and community judges but the information on the screen only says parents. It would help if tutorials said community judges where applicable.
4A. Additionally, it appears that there are differences in the instructions for community judges and parent judges, however, I may be missing something.
4B. Additionally, one set of instructions shows about ranking the competitors like in person ballots and another set of instructions shows about ranking online. It is confusing.
5. I have seen no instructions as to what "form" the ballots will be in. Do we need to print out ballots or will we be able to type comments during the speech?
6. I can imagine that we will need more time to complete a ballot with the online competition than we did in person. I often felt time pressured at the in person tournaments as it is.
7. The Timekeeping tutorial was very good.
8. All of the tutorials are good, but being new to this and being a community judge I anticipate that it will take longer to complete the ballots than for in person judging.
