Overview

Welcome to the zFairs Guided Review for Judging

This should go pretty quick and will give you the option to set up judging for your event by just answering some questions as we ask them. The goal is to make it so you never need to look at another judging config again and we can just run through this quick conversation any time you need to adjust things. Let us know what you think and don't hold back on the good, the bad or the ugly. Please send all feedback via email to Support@zfairs.com. Thank you.

Things to Know Before You Start When selecting the Most True statement be sure to read them all before making a selection.

We'll try to provide context in all cases so you are informed about the decisions you are making. Check the small text for additional information and details.

Please Be Aware, as you answer Yes or No we will be making changes to your site and adjusting settings to match what you are telling us. The only options that are guaranteed to never change anything are Exit and Skip. You can always come back and re-adjust at any time but we want you to be fully aware of what is going on as you continue through this Guided Review.
