# Configure judge roles

> Select the roles you are fulfilling before entering scores. This determines which fields you see.

## Available Roles

| Role      | Description                                                             |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **D1**    | Difficulty judge - enters difficulty value, neutral deductions, bonuses |
| **E1–E7** | Execution judges - enter execution deductions or final execution score  |
| **VR**    | Video Recorder - records routines on video                              |

## Use Case A: One Secretary on One Tablet

If a single person is entering scores for all judges on one device:

1. On the **Judge Roles** screen, select **all applicable roles** - **D1**, **E1**, **E2**, **E3**, etc.
2. This allows you to enter both difficulty and all execution scores from one device.
3. Tap **Continue**.

> **Important:** You must select every role you will enter scores for. If you only select D1, you will not see the execution fields.

## Use Case B: Video Recorder Only

If your sole responsibility is recording video:

1. Select **only VR** (Video Recorder).
2. **Do not** select D1, E1, or any scoring roles.
3. You will see the gymnast list with the video recording interface instead of score entry.

> **Important:** If you select both VR and scoring roles, you will need to handle both workflows. Only select VR if you are exclusively recording.

## Use Case C: Individual Judge (FIG Competition)

If each judge has their own device:

1. Select **only your assigned role** (e.g., just **E3**).
2. You will only see and enter the fields relevant to your role.
