teams. Once you click on the first team, you need to rank each judge as an
A, a B, a C, or a conflict. <span class=apple-converted-space> </span>You
may also strike one judge. <span class=apple-converted-space> </span>The
A’s are your most preferred judges and the 5’s should include your

rank at least 10 judges as an A by putting a 1 by their name, 8 as a B (put a 2
by their name), 5 as a C (put a 3 by their name), and 1 strike (put a 6 by
their name). Your preclusions should be marked as leftovers/preclusions
(put a 5 by their name). If, and only if, you have more than 5
preclusions, then you should enter the extra preclusions as Cs and send Adam
Smiley the information on which preclusions were entered as Cs. You may
give more than the target number of As, Bs, or Cs, but you may not give less. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font
