== Auto assign judges to projects ==
'''First step — math:''' Multiply total projects in the round by how many times each should be judged.

You can get the project total at the bottom of the auto assign tab.

'''Example:''' 70 projects × 4 judgments = 280 total assignments.
280 ÷ 40 judges = '''7''' projects per judge if assigned equally.

=== Preferences are rarely equal ===
Looking at judge preferences, load is rarely even (e.g. only 3 judges prefer Chemistry when you need a 4th coverage). With '''No Mix''', the system prefers one category per judge and works down the list — inconsistencies can over-assign some areas.

=== Recommended approach ===
# Use auto assign with No Mix (or your preferred mix setting) for the heavy lifting
# Manually reassign projects from judges with too many to judges with too few
# Allow a few mixed-category judges if needed to hit your target (e.g. 7 each)

Manual-only assignment can take hours for large rounds. Auto assign does the bulk of the work; you fine-tune.
