JUDGES DRAW PROCEDURES FOR 2015 AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Judging roles are subject to the number and availability of judges participating in the championships

and their level of qualification.

The panels for senior and junior international will be coordinated by the National Judging Coordinator.

Brevets will be placed first. Advanced Silver judges will be placed if numbers permit based on their

experience, judging assessment and previous competitions.

The draw for all other levels will be done by the NJC prior to competition and communicated to the

states so they can allocate judges based on their own selection processes.

Cards representing panel positions and States will be drawn at random. Depending on the numbers

of judges, two (2) cards per State are eligible for the first round of the draw. It is not possible for two

judges from the same State to be assigned to the same panel in round one of the draw; therefore if a

state is drawn on the same panel, they will be assigned the same position on the alternate panel. If

that is not possible, as the position has already been filled, the draw continues until a suitable position

is found.

Once all positions have been filled, states submit to the NJC names of judges who will fill duties on

panels, taking into account level of qualification and ability to judge as required. If there are still

vacancies on panels and suitably accredited judges are available the NJC may use these judges for

related roles and in support of the competition.

The final judging rosters will be distributed following the conclusion of the judges meeting on Monday

25 May. Judges will not march on. Judges are to be seated at their judging stations 30 minutes prior

to the competition start
