StoaTrax - How to Import Judges
We recommend that only 1 person be in charge of creating judge badges to avoid unnecessary confusion.
- To access the judge file needed from your tournament, go to Admin-Entries-Export and click the Export Tab.
- You will see an option called StoaTrax with a Download .csv link. Click on that link and the file will download onto your computer.
- Open the file and clean up the information.
- Change all the headers in each column to match StoaTrax.
- Column A - Change Last Name to Last
- Column B - Change First Name to First
- Column C - Change Email Address to Email
- Column D - State can be left alone
- Column E - Change Cell Phone to Cell
- Column F - Insert a column to the right of Cell and label the column Phone
- Column G - Change Debate Club Long Name to Debate Club
- Column H - Delete current column of Debate Club short name, which would then make Column H Speech Club Long Name, which you'll need to rename Speech Club
- Column I - Delete current column of Speech Club short name, which would then make Column I Type, which you'll need to rename Kind
- Column J - Insert a column here and label it "Letter"
- Column K - Judge Number can be left alone
- Column L - Insert a new column here and label it Judge ID
- Column M - Registered at can be left alone
- Column N - Label this column Gender and enter n/a for all judges
- Names - Make sure judges have proper capitalization. How it appears in the spreadsheet will be how it prints on the judge badges.
- Email Address - This will be whatever is the default for the judge's StoaHub profile.
- State - Make sure all states are 2 letters
- Cell Phone - This will be whatever is the default for the judge's StoaHub profile.
- Phone - Leave this blank as we don't have home phones in StoaHub
- Debate Club - All parent and alumni judges need to be associated with a club to show club conflicts in StoaTrax. If a parent hasn't indicated a club, you need to find out what club they are from and enter that club here. Community judges can be left blank if they didn't enter a club conflict.
- Speech Club - All parent and alumni judges need to be associated with a club to show club conflicts in StoaTrax. If a parent hasn't indicated a club, you need to find out what club they are from and enter that club here. Community judges can be left blank if they didn't enter a club conflict.
- Kind - Can either be a Parent, Alumni, or Community.
- Letter- For all the Parents enter letter P, all Alumni with the letter A, and all Community with the letter C. Important. If their judge number is 3 digits (999 or less) you'll need to add a zero after their letter.
- Judge Number - Any judge number that is 4 digits is fine. If a judge number has 3 digits (999 and below) they will get a zero added to the front when you combine the letter with a zero from step i in the next step.
- Judge ID - You will need to combine columns J (Letter) and K (Judge Number). To do this, enter this formula in the first cell under Judge ID (L2): =J2&K2 - This will combine the letter in column J and number in column K. Copy this equation and paste in down the entire L column so that all Judge IDs will be a combined letter and number. Once you've done this, select the entire column K, right click on the column and select copy. Select the entire column K again and click Paste Value.
- This will give you a properly formatted judge number.
- Save the file. You do not need to delete any columns as StoaTrax will grab what it needs.
- Change all the headers in each column to match StoaTrax.
- Navigate to your StoaTrax tournament website and login.
- Click Judges on the left tab.
- Click on the blue "IMPORT JUDGES" option.
- Upload the file you just saved.
- The judges should all appear with all the correct information. If you made a mistake, you can always go back to the spreadsheet and correct it. Then try again.
- Congratulations. You have entered your judges.
To Print Judge Badges
