WATCH Weekly Report 08-19-26

 ** WATCH Weekly Report 08-19-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

Note: I am currently out of town and have not been checking emails since Saturday.  This report was set up to be sent out today before I left.  So if you have let me know about a reservation or submitted a ballot, but this report does not reflect that, do not panic.  I will correct it when I return and next week’s report will be up to date.
 
 
TIP OF THE WEEK: Please be sure to open the ballot confirmation email you receive from Margaret and read it all the way to the bottom.  She often puts questions or comments about the ballot in there, often which require a response from you (e.g. submitting a missing score, correcting a mistaken entry, etc.).  Or sometimes it is just information that will be helpful for filling out a future ballot.  Either way, it is important information that you will miss if you do not read the entire email.


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