WATCH Weekly Report 08-12-26

 ** WATCH Weekly Report 08-12-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

 
TIP OF THE WEEK:  In order to compile the data for all judges for one show and avoid any errors in tabulation, it is essential that everything is listed in the same order on the ballot for all 10 ballots.  It is for this reason we ask that the cast always be listed in the order of the cast list in the playbill – to ensure all 10 judges have them in the same order.  PLEASE be sure you are using the cast list and NOT the bios when entering names in your ballot.  And double check to make sure you did not miss anyone you need to score.  One caveat for this -- if there is an understudy in the performance you see or if the show is double cast, you only need to list the actor you saw in that performance for the role and can skip the other actor even if they were listed in the cast list in the program.
 

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