OpenWater allows you to designate some individuals as a lead judge or committee chair. The permissions of this lead judge can be the following:
View the progress of their team members / how far along each judge is in reviewing their assignments
View / export the scores, results, and comments of their team
Assign winner status to submissions / forward submissions to next round
Remove an assigned submission from a judge (recuse a judge from a submission)
You can choose which permissions the lead judge has among the above listed, or give them all of those permissions. In this help article we will show you how to designate an individual as a lead judge as well as what the lead judge manager portal looks like to the end user.
