TMEA Honor Organization Tabulation Administrator Instructions

Manage Judges


Once you have assigned IDs, and printed the school clinicians and nominated judges, you can begin to assign judges.

You can edit judges at any time up until a judge claims their page and begins scoring.

Click the blue Assign button to add a judge’s information. Judge accounts will be created for any classes that will need to be adjudicated for advancement.

Sections that will not need to be adjudicated for advancement and will auto advance by defaults, will not have judge accounts created,

You will need a name at a minimum. Email, Phone, and TMEA Member ID are optional.

If you need to change an assignment, click the orange Clear button to remove the previous information and then you can assign it again.

You can assign people to multiple classes if needed. They will have a unique link for each class they are judging.

You can send out judging invitations whenever you are ready, but we recommend waiting until the week before judging starts to keep it near the top of their inbox. Use the ellipsis menu on the left to copy a pre-made invitation you can paste into an email. If you have your own invitation you can copy just the URL. If you have an email program installed on your computer, you can click on the email address to open a new email to that person (you will need to paste the invitation in separately).

The judging link in the invitation will become live on the contest date. During the judging period, it will contain all the information judges need to enter scores. See the Judge Page Overview document for details on the judging page.

During the judging period, the Manage Judges page will have an additional column indicating the judges’ scoring status:
  • Not Visited – The judge has not completed steps to begin scoring. You can still clear and reassign in this status.
  • Entering Scores – The judge has entered their information (if different from what you entered it will show in red in your list). They can begin entering scores. You can see saved scores on the Verification & Scoring page.
  • Ranked & Verified – The judge has finished entering scores and completed a verification of their ranks.
