Competition judging — FAQ

A competition judge scores each entry against a shared set of criteria — the same things every judge rates, so the results are comparable and fair. In ScoreJudge each judge opens a private link, scores entries on their phone, and the scores combine into a live leaderboard automatically.

Yes — most do. Add as many judges as you need and each scores independently; ScoreJudge combines their scores and can drop the highest and lowest per entry to cancel out an outlier. You can review the per-judge breakdown if any placement is contested.

No. Each judge opens a private link on their own phone, tablet, or laptop and starts scoring — no app install and no sign-up. That makes it practical to hand a panel of guest judges a link minutes before the event begins.

Yes. Define whatever criteria your competition scores on and give each its own maximum points, so a criterion that matters more is worth more. Judges see the same criteria and score each entry against them.

There's a free plan that runs small competitions end-to-end, with no per-event fees. Larger events with more judges, entries, and custom branding can upgrade to a paid plan — see the pricing page.
