Modernising the judges work!
Sometimes the Clubs require judges to preview the entries before the actual judging, sometimes the judges themselves ask to see the entries prior to the adjudication day. For these clubs and judges, Pixoroo provide a comprehensive service, making the whole process simple and smooth.
Judge Previewing and Pre-judging
Pixoroo offers two type of pre-judging interfaces for the judges depending on the type of scoring. If the scoring is of type "holdback" the judge can assign First, Second, Third, Highly Commended and Commended award to the images. The awards are on a dropdown list. A comment box is also provided for the judge to type any comments. If the scoring is of type "points" as in the picture below, the judge can assign any score to the images from the scored buttons. A comment box is also available. The judge can score and rescore the images until the real judging day. Once the real judging has taken place. The judge has still access to the images but not to the scoring interfaces. The judge can view the images and scores anytime. The judge can also download a spreadsheet with the images titles in the right order and score the entries on the printed sheet if this is preferred.
The pre-scoring is only available to for the In Person judging types. Pre-scoring cannot be used with Remote and Salon Style judging and the scoring on the judging day is final. The judges can however preview the images if the comp secretary allows it.
Sending the images to the judges
Pixoroo has built-in functionality that allows the admin to send a link to the judges that enables them to view, comment and pre-score or score the images from their computers. No need to use WeTransfer, DropBox or any other file sharing systems. There are two types of link that can be sent to the judge, secure and public. With secure links, the judge has to be logged in to enable him/her to comment and/or score the images. With the public links the judges can only view the images.
"Salon Style Judging"
Salon Style Judging refers to a type of judging that involves multiple judges scoring the same image in real time as it apears on the big screen. This type of judging is synchronous. All judges must have scored and image before the next image is displayed. Anyone registered with Pixoroo can serve as a judge and any number of judges can be assigned to a competition.
