From VFK Front Page regarding Judging and when it starts:

"Designers are the Best Judges!

Now that your Sandtastic Sandcastles are becoming a reality, it's time to start honing your judging skills as well! All of the Sandcastle Designers will have the chance to put their judging skills to the test this Monday!

That's right, those who have entered the Sandcastle Design competition, will also have the chance to be a judge!

On Monday, August 13th, 2012 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time), all you have to do to start judging, is to check under the Menu, and select the Judging option!

When the judging is complete you will receive your special judging awards!


How does the Judging work?

You will be assigned a room to judge at random.

You will not be assigned your own design to judge.

The maximum number of rooms you can judge is limited to 50 rooms.

Every time you complete the judging of 10 rooms, you will earn one of the special judging awards.

After you enter a Sandcastle Room to be judged, your judging/rating tool will activate after 30 seconds.

In the final analysis, the ratings you give a room will be weighted based on how high your design is scored by other judges. If your design is getting all 10's, then your judging will be given more weight than if you were getting all 1's!


Judging the Judges!

That's right, judging the judges!

As an extra bonus, the judges whose actual ratings are closest to the final scores of the assigned Sandcastle Designs will receive the Best Sandcastle Judge Award!

All judging must be completed by Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time).

Who will win the VFK Third Annual Sandcastle Competition? Only you can decide!
