In my judging dashboard, I'm a member of team Example 2012 and in the past, I was a member of Edinburgh 2006 team. At the bottom of this view is my assignment. As this is a guide, I've only been assigned team "Example".
If you want to add more teams to evaluate, you can do so with the "Add this team" drop down menu. This option might be useful if you're in a presentation by a team not in your original assignment and you want to vote on their presentation.

Evaluating Teams

When you click on a team in your assignment, the voting ballot appears. There is some general information about the team (abstract, etc) at the top of the page and links to the teams Roster, Wiki, Judging Form, Parts and DNA Samples. Below this information is the ballot itself. It is composed of 6 categories:

Project

Best Wiki

Presentation

Poster

Best Human Practices Advance

Best Model

This guide will only focus on the Project category, but the other categories function in the same manner.

These 10 aspects were selected to best represent an iGEM project. Each aspect has a language scale from 1 - 6 and NA/No vote. When you click on an aspect, the language choices appear.

To cast your vote, you click on an aspect and select the language choice you best feel reflects the teams performance. You must click on the language choice within the green box, or your vote will not register. This is the same with comments, if you don't click on a vote or no vote to close the box, your comment won't be saved.

When you have done that, the language choice you have made appears green next to the aspect. If you have made comments on that aspect, an ellipsis (...) will appear next to the language choice. These comments are only visible to you.

Once you have evaluated all the aspects for your team, you can complete aspects for the other teams in your assignment. The voting ballot is identical for every team, so once you are familiar with it, evaluations should become simpler and faster.

Reviewing your Votes

If you want to look over your votes as a matrix view, there is a link in the top right hand corner of the Ballot. This link toggles the ballot from 'Normal View' to 'Grid View'. In Grid View, all the language choices are visible simultaneously, allowing you to quickly change multiple votes during a presentation or information sharing meeting about the team.

Judging Handbook - relavent for 2012 Regional Competitions

The Judging Handbook was created to help answer questions about the new judging system in 2012. It contains information on the initial system deployed for the regional competitions in 2012, but not for the World Championship Jamboree.
