Marking Room

Evaluating competitor work

The marking room provides judges and experts with tools to evaluate competitor work during and after sessions.

Accessing the Marking Room

You'll receive a URL and access code from the session administrator. Enter your code to access the marking room for your assigned session.

Marking Room Features

Assigned Competitors

When assignments are configured, you'll see only the competitors assigned to you. This helps distribute marking workload across multiple judges.

Viewing Competitor Work

For each competitor, you can access:

  • Live Deployment — View their submitted work in real-time
  • Git Repository — Browse their code directly
  • phpMyAdmin — View database state (if applicable)

Competitor Information

Each competitor card shows:

  • Name and workstation number
  • Country code (for international events)
  • Current deployment status

Workflow

  1. Select a competitor from your assigned list
  2. Click to view their work
  3. Review their deployment and code
  4. Record your assessment using your session's marking criteria
  5. Move to the next competitor
The marking room is read-only. Judges can view but not modify competitor work.

Reporting Issues

If you notice problems with a competitor's environment (not their work), report it to the session administrator. Common issues to report:

  • Deployment not working due to infrastructure issues
  • Unable to access a competitor's work
  • Database connectivity problems
