Building your jury and scoring submissions

Film Festival gives you a real scoring workflow instead of a spreadsheet of links.

Build the panel - Film Festival -> Submissions -> Jury:
1. Add a juror with their name and email
2. If they already have a Turtini account, their queue links to it automatically. If not, the record still stands and links the day they sign up
3. A juror does not need any role in your organization. They see the films assigned to them and nothing else

Each juror row shows how many films they were assigned, how many they have reviewed, and their completion percentage, so you can see at a glance whether judging is actually moving.

Set the rubric - Settings -> Judging rubric:
Add the criteria you want scored, each with a weight and a maximum. Weights are relative, so 3 / 2 / 1 works and nothing has to total 100. Scores are normalized to a 0 to 100 scale, which means you can edit the rubric partway through a festival without making earlier scores meaningless.

Blind review:
Turn it on and reviewers do not see the director, country, or filmmaker name while scoring. Those fields are withheld by the server, not merely hidden on screen.

Assign films - Film Festival -> Submissions -> Judging:
1. Tick the films you want to assign
2. Pick a juror
3. Assign

Assigning the same film to the same juror twice does nothing, so you can re-run an assignment safely. Unassign works the same way.

Scoring:
A juror opens Judging, sees only their assigned films, and scores each criterion inline. The weighted result is previewed as they type, so the number never surprises them. They can add a private note and a recommendation of Accept, Revisit, or Decline. Notes and scores are for your team and are never shown to the filmmaker.

Revising a score updates that juror's review rather than adding a second one. The submission list is sorted by aggregate score, so your shortlist builds itself as reviews come in.

Removing a juror clears their assignments but keeps the reviews they already filed, because those scores are part of the decision record for the films they touched.
