| NJDFL Judge's Information |
New Jersey Drama and Forensics League
No food or beverages are allowed in any part of the school except the cafeteria at any time during the competition. During the awards ceremony we ENCOURAGE CHEERING but NOT CHANTING and horns. NJDFL Incident Report Judging Tips and Guidelines Objectively evaluate all performances. Everyone is capable of a great performance or an off day. Be sure you judge what is presented, not what the competitor ‘is capable of’ or ‘has done before’. Rank and score performances after everyone has competed and left the room. Review your written comments before ranking and scoring competitors. Be sure the relative closeness of performances is reflected in the scores you assign. Make participation a learning experience for each competitor. While you are in the room to evaluate performance, you are also there to educate. Provide specific, constructive feedback on your score sheet. Compliment as much as you can, and suggest area(s) for improvement. The guidance you provide will help competitors become accomplished speakers and actors. Promote a sense of fair play. In an competitive activity, there are rules to which participants must adhere and penalties for infractions. At the start of each event you judge, confirm the rules for the competitors (read them aloud). Apply those rules equally to all competitors. Making exceptions leads to confusion, conflict or unfair advantage. Promote positive behavior. In addition to filling the roles of evaluator, educator, and referee you must also act as ‘scout leader’. Foster consideration and support among the competitors in your room. Encourage participants to befriend students from other schools. |
