The WDSF General Secretary Shawn Tay welcomed more than 250 adjudicators coming from all over the world. He was pleased to announce that this is an absolute record entry. This proves, that having the congress just prior to the GOC in Stuttgart, is a perfect opportunity for so many people to attend; secondly the adjudicators show their interest in the development of the Judging System 2.1.
In cooperation with Dallas and Martha Williams from Australia and Stefan Green from Italy, the attendants had the possibility to judge after watching a video and use their own android devices wireless. Of course to have 250 persons ready with their devices was a great challenge and took some time.
Another interesting feature was having all the markings visible on a screen, followed by a fruitful discussion and explanation for divergent scores.
The following lecturers dealt with deeper and detailed explanations of components and subcomponents of the Judging System 2.1. It helped to learn how to look at and evaluate performences according special criterias.
