** WATCH Weekly Report 11-27-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
The final show for 2024 now appears on this report. So if your name
does not show up anywhere in this report, it means that you are
officially done for the year.
If you name IS on this report, please make sure
you make a reservation and get your ballots in ASAP. Shows at this time
of year tend to be very popular, so don’t assume they will have a
ticket for you if you wait too long to reserve.
And remember, the final date for accepting ballots will be December 24th.
TIP OF THE WEEK: When you submit your
ballot, it goes directly to Margaret. I never see the ballot and the
only way I know that it has been submitted is when I receive the ballot
confirmation that is also sent to you and your theater’s rep. If you
see your name on the report and have received a ballot confirmation, it
means the email to me got lost in the ether somewhere, so please forward
the confirmation to me and I will mark you as having submitted your
ballot. If you submitted but did not receive a confirmation within a
couple of days, it likely means that the ballot was not received. Let
me know and I can check with Margaret. And always keep a copy of your
scores because if she did not receive it, you will need to submit the
whole thing it again.
******************************************
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.
