Why do the Semi-Final Round judges and the Final Round judges not have to use the Genesis score sheet?
The published authors, editors, and agents who judge the Semi-Final and Final Rounds of the Genesis are generously donating their time to judge the entries. Most published authors, editors, and agents have indicated a preference for giving a simple numerical score rather than filling out the detailed score sheet used in the First Round. SSome judges will opt to use their own score sheets. This is entirely up to them. Therefore, some Semi-Finalists and Finalists might receive score sheets rather than comments for their feedback. This is entirely at the discretion of the judge, who is donating his/her time to judge the entries. Whether the judge uses a score sheet or simply gives a numerical score, the numerical score will be used to determine the Finalists and the Category winner for each category.
