We have kept this open ended, as there are a number of different circumstances that are acceptable for announcing awards:
- Judges announce awards, as assigned by the Judge Advisor / agreed upon by individual judges.
- Judge Advisor announces all awards.
- Master of Ceremonies (Emcee) announces awards.
- Event Partner announces awards.
- Special guests or VIPs announce awards.
- Additional appropriate options for announcing awards that do not fall under the above categories.
This process is designed to be flexible to accommodate a myriad of different circumstances. Ultimately, this is a non-gameplay decision that would fall under the purview of the Event Partner under rule <T4> in the Game Manual.
