¶ Purpose

¶ What you can see
The list stays inside this contest. Judges and contestants see names, not email addresses. Producers and tallymasters can also match an email they already stored on a roster.
Applications only appear if your role is allowed to open them.
¶ Tips
-
Short names work:
walcan find Walton. -
If nothing matches, try the first few letters of a section name or a SquirrelGenda title.
-
Search is not a substitute for My Contests when you need a different event.
¶ Common Mistakes
-
Searching before a contest is selected — the box only appears after you open one.
-
Expecting scores or private notes to show up. They do not.
¶ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search every contest at once?
No. Pick the contest first, then search inside it.
