** WATCH
Weekly Report 01-01-20 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
Welcome to the 2020 WATCH year! Thank you all for agreeing to serve this
year. We could not do it without
you. My name is Kira Hogan, and I am
happy to be serving as your Adjudication Coordinator once again this year.
This section at the top is where I post important information. Please take the time to read it. I won’t have something here every week, and I
try to keep it relatively short (despite what the below might suggest). But if I do include something here, it is
because it is something important I think everyone needs to know.
Below is the basic information you need to know for judging
– essential for new judges, but it could not hurt for returning judges to read
as a refresher.
There are basically three steps to the judging process:
1.
Search the weekly report for your
name. If you see your name listed for a
show and have not yet made your reservation, do so and then send me an email with your reservation date. (This last step is the most overlooked step
in the process. I need to track every
judge who sees every show, and if I do not hear from you, I will send you
pestering emails.)
2.
See your show.
3.
After seeing the show, submit your
ballot (link is under “USEFUL LINKS” below and can also be accessed via the
WATCH website). The deadline for
submitting a ballot is 30 days after the show closes, and no ballot will be
accepted after this date. However, we
strongly recommend you get the ballot in within
10 days of viewing the show, while it is still fresh in your mind. (2 to 3 days is even better.) Once a ballot is submitted, our tabulator
will send a confirmation of receipt to you, your rep and me. Once I receive this receipt, I will remove
your name from the report. If you see
your name still listed as missing a ballot but have already submitted, it
probably means I did not receive the receipt, so let me know. Margaret, our tabulator, likes to receive
copies of the playbills for every show, so if you have the capability, you can
send her a copy of the playbill at watchtab@mac.com.
And that’s it in a nutshell.
Pretty easy, right?
I will send a report every Wednesday. However, if for some reason you do not
receive a report one week, there is a blog site where I post each week’s report
immediately after sending it out. This
link is also listed below, and I highly recommend you bookmark this site on
both your phone and computer so you can easily access it if you need to. These reports contain all the information you
need for each theater, so having the blog site bookmarked on your phone could
come in handy as you are on your way to the venue.
The “Just the Facts” document with every theater’s
information is also posted on the WATCH website. That link can be found below as well.
Please make sure you read this report every week. Schedules change and shift across the year,
so while the matrix can be used as a guideline, this report is the final word
on scheduling. So even if you don’t
think you have an assignment coming up, read the report anyway just in
case.
The WATCH board has created new training materials, so all
judges are required to view this training before their first assignment. It is up to each rep to make sure their
judges are trained. Training can be
found on the homepage of the WATCH website.
Please be sure to submit the confirmation form once you have finished
viewing all videos.
If you have any questions at any point, feel free to email
me at adjudication@washingtontheater.org.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming …
*****************************************
NOTE: Balloting for a show closes 30 days after the
show closes. If you owe us a ballot,
please get it in as soon as possible.
Friendly Reminders:
1.
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. It’s very long, and the reply will include
the entire thing, clogging my inbox.
Please send a new email to adjudication@washingtontheater.org
2.
DO email me your reservation
dates. Really, I want to know!
3.
DO search this entire report for
your name, including in the “Closed” section to see if you owe any ballots.
4.
If you go see a show that you were
not assigned to see, please let me know in case we need an alternate. Try to keep the playbills for all shows you
see at WATCH company theaters, at least until you see that it has closed with
all ballots received. Similarly, if you
see a note that an alternate is needed and you are available to see that show,
please let me know.
