Grace period for Guide to Judging Updates


JHAWK
17-Jun-2024

Hello, the new guide to judging states on page 3: "For events occurring up to seven (7) days after the release of a new version of the Guide to Judging, both the current version and the previous version of the Guide to Judging as well as printable judging materials are valid for use in qualifying events". Last season major changes were made mid season (such as the introduction of innovate forms), and it would be reasonable to assume major changes might happen this year. Will it be a requirement for Event Partners to contact teams with which GtJ the event will be using, or will teams know some other way?

Thanks in advance.

EPs should reach out to teams and let them know. That said, most Guide to Judging Updates after the August release are typically very minor changes, mainly integrating existing Q&As, so the impact on teams should be negligible.
