Judge Regions for JudgeApps/Judge Academy

Now that some regions have been combined/consolidated under Judge Academy, will JudgeApps reflect these new regions or continue to use the former regions?

This is answered in a recent blog post; I’ll quote the current text here:

At present, we have elected to leave the existing Regions in place.

  • This allows users to retain access to the regional forums they already have, and ensures their notification settings (for event creation) do not change.
  • As a consequence, two regions (Europe – East and UKISA) currently contain a mix of countries supported by the Legacy Program and by Judge Academy. This does not impact which judges can be certified or advanced, which will still work correctly (because participation in the Legacy Program and Judge Academy is checked on a country-by-country basis, not region).
  • We will evaluate this moving forward and may make tweaks.

Gotcha, thanks Paul! I must have missed that post.

That all makes sense. If possible, I think it’d be great to have events in 2020 searchable by new judge regions to both encourage region cohesion and make it easier for judges in the combined regions.
