Accessing Critique Sign-up

1. Navigate to your Organization > Events > select your Event
2. Click Setup in the event navigation
3. Click Critique Sign-up in the sidebar

Note: This option is disabled for Training events and Solo and Ensemble events.

Creating Time Slots

Time slots define when critique sessions are available:

2. Enter the time slot details:

• Time - The session time (e.g., "4:00 PM", "After Finals")
• Divisions - Which divisions can sign up for this slot
• Lines - Number of groups that can sign up

Time Slot Display

Each time slot shows:

• Time name - The slot identifier

Managing Registrations

Viewing Sign-ups

Each time slot shows:

2. Click Cancel
3. The slot becomes available again

Manual Registration

To register a group manually:

1. Find an empty slot
2. Click Register
3. Select the group
4. Confirm the registration

Division Restrictions

Time slots can be limited to specific divisions:

• Only groups from allowed divisions see that slot
• Multiple divisions can share a slot
• This prevents critique overcrowding

Empty State

If you see "There are no groups or times set up for critique at this event":

1. Ensure groups have registered for the event
2. Create at least one time slot
3. Verify critique sign-up is enabled

Common Scenarios

Different Critique Times by Division

Create separate time slots for each division:

1. Create a slot for "Scholastic A - 3:30 PM"
2. Assign only Scholastic A division
3. Repeat for other divisions with their times

Limited Critique Spots

If critique capacity is limited:

1. Set the number of lines (spots) per time slot
2. First-come, first-served for sign-ups
3. Monitor registrations and adjust as needed

Walk-in Critiques

To allow day-of sign-ups:

1. Set the deadline to after the event ends
2. Manually register groups as they arrive
3. Track availability in real-time

After Setup

Once critique sign-up is configured:

1. Groups see available slots in their event view
2. They can sign up before the deadline
3. Review registrations before the event
4. Provide critique schedules to judges
