It was stated recently that (paraphrasing) first-show attendees were being
used as *judges*. That is not true. First-show attendees were being used
as *stewards*. We did *not* judge any rings. We performed standard steward
tasks such as recording scores as dictated by judges, calling numbers up to
the tables, and wiping down between entries. I enjoyed performing these
tasks very much but in no way felt qualified to judge. I did appreciate the
time our judges took to educate us stewards in what they were looking for,
however.
Just wanted to set the record straight.
