No, you do not need to do a Judge training. There is a short tutorial that opens for Judges once they open their unique ballot. 

If you'd like to share a short video with them before the event, you can share this video:

Other Reasons To Train Your Judges

Depending on your event, you may want to do a Judge training to explain to Judges how to interview Competitors, or what to look for in a Competitor, but that is at your discretion.

Running Judge Training with RocketJudge

We recommend creating a Demo Event rather than using your actual event to traing your judges, whether you are just displaying a ballot for your judges or adding them as judges to try it themselves.

To create a new event, just click "Create New Event" at the top right. You can even copy your event details by clicking "Copy Event" and selecting the elements you want copied.

We recommend setting up a demo event for yourself to really see what it's going to be like.
