Judges Score Cards

I will be covering a lot of things on the blog in the next day as I want to keep people as up to date as possible on all things BEAT DOWN because with the numbers as high as they are we have a very busy day on Saturday.  Remember at 122 athletes, 32 judges, and probably 200 plus spectators this house will be packed and ready to rock - it is going to be loud, hot, sweaty, and probably pretty smelly (another reason to set-up tents outside) we will need to be very efficient with time.  Given that heats are very close together athletes will need to be as up to date as possible on the workouts as there will be little time for questions before heats.

The score cards are in one master binder which will be held by the heat organizers (Dale and Lori Johnstone) and they will be handed to the athletes just before the heat is about to begin.  Athlete names, heats, and division are already marked on the cards - the card will be handed to the judge who will write their name on it and will use it for marking athletes time/score on.  Once the score is written on the card the judge will confirm the numbers with the athlete and the athlete will "sign off" on the card.  The judge will give the card back to the athletes and they will then hand the card in to the office for scoring purposes.

There are a few workouts where the card needs to be handed to a few different judges (example WOD 1+2 - give the card to the clean and jerk judge then collect card and give to the rowing judge, who will return it to athlete for hand in).

Athletes are responsible for their own cards once the wod is complete - so do not lose it, forget to hand it in, or get it super wet.
