# Judging Overview Event participants with the Judging role are able to score teams once the event has entered its Judging phase. The Judging dashboard displays items to aid scoring decisions, such as the use of a team's StackCash (if enabled) and any external links the team has provided as references to a submitted project.

### Scoring Judges score on a half-fractional scale of 1-10 on each of the event criteria set by the event organizers. These scores are then multiplied by each criterion's respective assigned weight to calculate a team's final scores.

### Feedback Judges can provide optional, anonymous feedback to each team. This feedback will be visible to the respective team upon the completion of the event.
