Cloud Awards || JUDGING

- faq and updates -

here's some of the frequently asked questions that i wanted to answer, hope it helps :D

1. Has the judging began yet?

Yes, unofficially the judging has already started. As for official dates, I am not yet sure but it highly depends on the entries and how the genres fill up so they're being judged as they fill up.

As the other genres fill up, within around 2 weeks approximately, its results will be up.

If there's any extensions required past that approximate deadline, it will be told :D

2. How many chapters am I supposed to read? [judges]

From my experience in judging, reading 5-6 chapters should be good, though sometimes you might need to read more chapters to get enough context of the story and the plot, which is completely alright.

You never have to read the entire book, not unless its a one/shot or the short story only has some chapters, but for the rest- its on your discretion :)

3. How to access the scorecard and enter scores? [judges]

Okay, this has been a bit of FAQ and I wanted to make sure everyone's on the same page.

So all the judges who signed up till now (we're still in requirement for judges for some other genres, but- i will come to that later)

Here's a snippet of the email that you received so far:

the books link has the link to the reading list of entries as the books were added to the reading list.

Does it necessarily mean that you have to judge all the books on the reading list despite your preferences? Absolutely not.

After the genre is full aka it has 10 entries in the list, the official chapter is updated and if there's a difference in preference, it'd be assigned accordingly.

the scorecard link has the link to the google sheets scorecard and it roughly looks like this:

And edit access has been shared with you. Please make sure you've received the correct scorecard, I might've accidentally sent the wrong scorecard so please confirm the details.
