Grapevine Classic Judging Interp Events
How to look like a pro: • Don’t tell them its your first time to judge • Don’t ask the contestants where they are from • Don’t tell them how you are going to rank them • Don’t give them back the ballots in the round. They will receive them after their coach has seen them • Don’t ask the time limit of the event • Write during their performance instead of at the end of each performance. They are used to being critiqued by their coaches while they are presenting • Fill out ballots and sign them and return them to the ballot table in a timely fashion
