THE BARE MINIMUM
When you create your first event in our system, we fill it with a sample ballot, a sample class, and YOU as both a competitor and a judge! All you need to do is add your logo to begin testing.
- Upload your event logo by clicking the GEAR icon atop the Event Basics page.
- Next, click the QR button atop the Event Basics page. Scan with your phone and sign in as a contestant. Enter the sample competition and the sample ballot. See how the flow goes.
- Once you enter yourself or an entry (like a car, pet, whatever) in a class, SIGN OUT and sign back in, but this time as a judge. Now judge your entry!
A BIT MORE
Know the following:
-
Classes. If you intend to have judging, get your classes set up first. If you need help translating your scoring rubric to our system, please reach out to us through the help system or the AI agent on the site (the bright yellow chat icon at the bottom of the page).
-
Registration. Contestants can either self-register (if you allow it) or you can add them manually from the contestants area. You can turn on/off self-registration by class in the "Class Assignments" area. For ballots, just edit the ballot and choose your option.
-
Getting Entries. We recommend communicating to your potential registrant base early and having them access the system through your QR code or link. This way, they have time to upload images, add information and fill out your event so fans get a full experience. Many clients hold a drawing for a small prize to be awarded randomly among all contestants who complete their profiles.
-
EXPERIMENT. The more you play with the system as both a contestant and a judge, the faster you will understand how everything fits together.
