Guide for Head Judges
In this article, we aim to fully explain how to manage the role of a head judge. The responsibilities of a head judge in a competition include the following:
1) Assigning Athletes to Judges: The head judge must allocate athletes to the appropriate judges and ensure that all athletes are judged at the proper time.
2) Explaining the Rules and Movement Standards to Judges: The head judge is responsible for explaining all competition rules and movement standards to the judges, ensuring that the judging is precise and coordinated.
3) Monitoring Judge Performance: The head judge should oversee the performance of the judges to ensure that all judgments are carried out in compliance with the standards.
4) Handling Judging Appeals: The head judge is responsible for reviewing athlete appeals and providing appropriate responses. This process requires careful attention and review of the documentation.
Head judges should emphasize to the competition judges the importance of writing a complete judging report in the comments section. For example:
“Repetition of [movement] was a mistake due to [reason].”
- This helps the head judge quickly understand the reason for the athlete’s error and eliminates the need to rewatch the entire video.
- Additionally, this transparency ensures that athletes understand the reason for their mistake and helps prevent unnecessary appeals.
- Important Note: The judging report should be written thoroughly and with full respect.
