Intro to FTC Judge Volunteer Role

Join us for an informative and engaging virtual training session designed for FTC Judge volunteers! The primary role of a judge is to interview teams and decide which teams will receive awards based on team interviews, the robot, match play, and the engineering portfolio. This session will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to excel in this critical role. Judges are paired in groups of 2-3 and interview a set number of teams before the competition begins, as well as conduct interviews in the pit area. During the event, judges will:

• Conduct team interviews
• Review team engineering portfolios
• Review Control Award submission forms (if submitted)
• Update Judging Feedback forms
• Watch competition matches (at traditional events)
• Decide the top three ranked teams for each judged award
• Come to consensus with other judges on the recipient of each award
• Share notes on top-ranked and award-winning teams with the judge advisor and other judges for use in the award ceremony script

This training will ensure you are well-prepared to support our teams and contribute to an exciting and successful FTC season. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference and inspire the next generation of innovators!
