# Judge configuration settings

These settings let you set up the named judges for a session and assign them to apparatus and roles. You find them on the Judge Configuration screen of a session, which has a Rotation Assignment tab and a Judge Profiles tab. The role meanings themselves (D1, E1 through E7, and so on) are defined in [Judges Companion settings](/settings-reference/judges-companion-settings.md#judge-roles).

## Rotation assignment

### Judge role assignment

**What it does.** Assigns a judge profile to each role on each apparatus for the session.

**What it affects.** The judges named here are the ones expected to score on that apparatus. Each apparatus shows the difficulty and execution roles in order; the most common roles appear first, and Show more roles reveals the rest. A profile already used elsewhere in the rotation does not appear in the other dropdowns, so the same judge is not assigned twice.

**When to use it.** Assign judges before the session so their printouts and QR sign-in codes are ready. Use the clear button on a slot to unassign a judge.

**Default.** All roles unassigned.

***

### Meet password

**What it does.** Shows the meet's password and lets you copy it.

**What it affects.** This is one of the two credentials a judge enters to sign in to the Judges Companion. It is the same across the whole meet.

**When to use it.** Copy it to share with judges who sign in by password rather than by QR code. It is hidden when no password is set.

**Default.** Not applicable (a display).

***

### Session password

**What it does.** Shows this session's password and lets you copy it.

**What it affects.** The second credential a judge enters to sign in to the Judges Companion, specific to this session.

**When to use it.** Copy it to share with judges for this session. It is hidden when no password is set.

**Default.** Not applicable (a display).

***

### Export CSV

**What it does.** Downloads the session's judge profiles as a CSV file.

**What it affects.** Produces a file listing each judge's name, identifier, federation, and notes.

**When to use it.** Use it to keep an offline record of the judging panel or to share the list outside the app.

**Default.** Not applicable (an action).

***

### Judge QR codes

**What it does.** Generates QR sign-in codes for judges, either all at once or one judge at a time.

**What it affects.** Each QR code signs the judge in to the Judges Companion for their assigned apparatus and role without typing a password. Per-judge codes and printouts are available from the QR menu on an assigned slot.

**When to use it.** Export all codes to hand out before the session, or print a single judge's code from their slot. A slot's QR menu is available only once a judge is assigned to it.

**Default.** Not applicable (an action).

***

## Judge profiles

### Judge profile

**What it does.** A saved record of a judge that you assign to rotation roles.

**What it affects.** Profiles populate the assignment dropdowns and feed the CSV export and QR printouts. Add, edit, and delete them from the Judge Profiles tab, and search by name, identifier, or federation.

**When to use it.** Create a profile for each judge on your panel before assigning them. Reuse profiles across sessions of the same meet.

**Default.** No profiles (you create them).

***

### Judge profile fields

**What it does.** The details stored on each judge profile.

**What it affects.** These values appear in the assignment dropdowns, the CSV export, and the judge's printout.

**When to use it.** Fill in the required fields when creating or editing a profile.

**Options.**

| Field      | What it is                                                                                                 |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Full name  | The judge's name. Required                                                                                 |
| Identifier | A short unique ID for the judge, such as a federation number. Required, and must be unique within the meet |
| Federation | The judge's federation or affiliation. Required                                                            |
| Notes      | Optional free text, for example certification level or availability                                        |

**Default.** Empty (you fill them in).
