Task Description
This is a list of tasks for the GA cup judges throughout the competition.

Sign-ups

 * Make sure all tables are functioning as it should and there are no syntax or format errors. If there is, FIX IT!!!
 * Add all the names to the "Pool" page. More about this below.
 * It is easier if everything is kept in alphabetical order on the pools and submissions pages. Please check in every few days to keep it this way.

Scoring

 * Make sure this page is on your watchlist. The whole point of this is to make sure no one tries to do anything stupid (change the rules). Also, if one of us (the judges) change the page, please make us all aware of the change by notifying us on the talk page. All this equals no confusion (hopefully!).
 * Enforce the rules! If someone breaks the rules, give them a warning on their talk page and document it here. On their second offence, disqualify them (see "Disqualification" section below). Also, keep that page on your watchlist. Hopefully we won't have to use it.

Pools

 * All the names from the sign-up page should be listed here. Also, all the rows should be highlighted in green.
 * If the participant requests to withdraw and you grant it (there shouldn't really be any cases where you wouldn't grant it), replace their row with the purple colour (copy colour code from the key box). If they get disqualified, replace the colour with red. Also, once we figure out who moves on to the next round, instructions will be provided as soon as Round 2 begins.
 * Keep this page on your watchlist. Any changes that show a participant is adding points should be reverted immediately as judges are the only ones who can claim/reward points.

Submissions

 * All participants should have their own subpage. If they don't have one or have just listed their reviews on the submissions page, make a subpage for them.
 * When awarding points, replace the  with the following format. For example, if the nomination was 2 months old, the article was 15,000 characters long, and the review was 12,000 characters long, the following should be placed:   (14 points for nomination date (14 for nomination (4 for age, 10 for base points), 3 for article size, 3 for review size) KEEP IT IN THIS ORDER
 * For nominations, you can check the "age" of the review by looking at talk page history, and the "red box" at the page history of this page. When finding the article length, use Shubinator's DYK Check. Usually, for review size you can see if the review is over 10,000 characters, and to be sure, check the actual count on charactercountonline.com.
 * Also, add the following after the "points" parameter,  to show that you checked it.
 * For GAR's, you only have to put  after the   as the template should automatically update it with 2 points.
 * If the review goes against the rules or for any other reason, the review does not earn any points, add the following,  (GAR's are accepted if there is a comment left with how to improve the article according to the GA criteria)
 * Always sign all of your reviews and be sure to sign them with three tildes (because it reduces clutter).
 * Then, go to the "Pool" page and update the points for the participant as needed.


 * So an approved review/GAR will look something like this:




 * And a review/GAR that doesn't earn any points will look like this:



Disqualification

 * In the event of a disqualification do the following:


 * 1) Update the "Pool" table to say that the participant was eliminated (red colour). Set all points to zero.
 * 2) Make a note on their subpage saying they have been disqualified.
 * 3) Remove subpage from the "Submissions" page.
 * 4) Leave a note on their talk page saying they have been disqualified.
 * 5) Update the Disqualification Log (linked above).
