WATCH Weekly Report 11-06-24


  
** WATCH Weekly Report 11-06-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

TIP OF THE WEEK:  I need to be kept informed of your reservation to be sure all shows are covered by 10 judges, and the simplest way to do this is to just cc: me on your email reservation request to the theater.  This way I know you have a reservation, and you do not need to send me a separate email to let me know.  Of course, if you reserve by some means other than email, you will still need to send me a personal email with this information.


******************************************
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. Please send a new email to watchadjudication@gmail.com
  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.
