** WATCH Weekly Report 01-11-23 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
Just a heads up to new judges -- once you have submitted your ballot for
a show and I receive confirmation from Margaret, our tabulator, that
she has received it, I remove your name from the report for that show.
So if it ever happens that your name was on a previous report, but is no
longer on the current one, it means I received your ballot. (I get
questions on this every year, so I am being proactive.)
If your name disappears for a show that has not opened yet, that is
probably a typo (even experienced Adjudication Coordinators make
mistakes), so please check in with me. But this is only for when your
name disappears from a report, not if it does not appear for a show you
expected to see in the first place. Remember that you may not end up
assigned to a show that was in your original schedule, as things change
as the year progresses.
*****************************************
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:
- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. It’s very long, and the reply will include the entire thing. Please send a new email to watchadjudication@gmail.com
- DO email me your reservation dates. Really, I want to know!
- DO search this entire report for your name, including in the “Closed” section to see if you owe any ballots.
- 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.
- DO check each theater’s COVID policies before attending any show, even if you think you already know what they are, and make sure you are comfortable attending.
