WATCH Weekly Report 12-17-25

 ** WATCH Weekly Report 12-17-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

The final shows for 2025 close this week, so this will be the last report for this year. Where has the time gone?  I hope to see everyone back here in early 2026.  And for anyone who is hanging up their judging and/or rep hat, thank you for your service and it’s been a pleasure working with you.
 
We need alternate ballots for two already closed shows – White Christmas at FCT and The Hollow at LMP.  Please let me know ASAP if you can fill out a ballot for either show
 
Reminder: The final date for accepting ballots will be December 22nd.  If your ballot is not received by 11:59pm on this date, your scores will not be included for the show.  But please don’t let this happen because the more data we have for each show, the more stable the results.
 
Happy holidays!

 



******************************************
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.
