** WATCH Weekly Report 05-13-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: Please make sure you are
selecting the correct producing company on the ballot for the show you
are scoring. If the “Producing company” and “Adjudicator company”
fields are displaying the same company, then you have made a mistake.
(In case it is not clear, the former is the theater at which you are
attending the show and the latter is the company you are representing.)
It is also very easy to choose the wrong company in the drop down menu,
so check to make sure the correct company was selected for both. If
you select the wrong adjudicating company, the ballot confirmation will
go to the rep for the wrong theater. And if you select the wrong
producing company, this will cause confusion and possible errors in
balloting.
*****************************************
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.
