Be a Fair Judge: Addressing Unconscious Bias

Everyone has unconscious biases, but becoming aware of them can help us make more thoughtful and fair decisions. We want all judges to provide appropriate and considerate feedback to teams – understanding that we all have biases and how to counter-act them is an important step towards this. 

Learn about unconscious bias and how you can take steps to recognize and overcome bias.

Our judge rubrics are split up by division and designed to make the judging process easier and more objective!

You can access the rubrics from your judge dashboard, or below.
