To return via rounds, click on the round and you'll see a list of all the ballots. They will be in section order, NOT room order. The screen will show you the judge info and the students they judged.

Scroll to the correct ballot and click "Return Full Ballot". The button on the right will turn green.

Events - Shows you all the events by round and the status. If you click on the round, you'll get the same screen as "Rounds".

Ballot Code - You can scan the barcode or type the ballot code to return ballots.

When you do this, you'll see this screen. The button is dark blue when not returned and light blue when the ballot is returned, including the time the ballot was returned and who returned it.

Judge Code - You can scan a judge's barcode or type their judge number to return ballots.

When you choose this option, you'll see all of the ballots that this judge has taken in the whole tournament. Be careful to return the correct ballot.

When organizing the ballots after they have been scanned/entered as returned, put debate ballots back in order by Ballot Code, NOT room number.

When organizing the ballots after they have been scanned/entered as returned, put speech ballots back in order by Ballot Code and then Panel order, NOT room number.

By organizing the ballots at ballot return as they come in, it helps keep the tournament moving. When a pile of ballots are returned to tab unorganized, it slows down tab's ability to enter scores quickly because they have to sort papers. These details add up. We appreciate your cooperation in helping the tournament run efficiently.
