Notes

• The list of feedback is sorted by feedback that needs to be approved; if the flag is red-ish color there is feedback needing review, if it is a yellow-ish color there is no feedback to be reviewed and if it is green then it has already been reviewed. Reviewed feedback goes to the bottom of the list.
• If the judges feedback is good and does not need to be edited just press the Save Changes & Mark Reviewed button, you don't need to fill in the reviewed notes section if changes aren't needed.
