¶ Purpose
Complete the judge agreement link your producer emailed so you can get login credentials and be prepared to judge the contest.
¶ Before You Begin
-
Find the invitation email (check spam)
-
Use the unique link meant for you - don't borrow a friend's
-
Know that the email on the invite is fixed; you generally can't swap it on the form
-
Have time to answer any questions on the form and read the agreement, including the fine print
-
Producers can print selected answers on a combined Profile PDF for the contest crew, so write what you'd want in that packet
¶ Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Open the invitation / judge agreement link from your email.
-
Confirm the contest name looks right.
-
Notice your email is already set from the invitation - use that inbox going forward.
-
Read the questions and agreement text carefully.
-
Fill every field (name, answers, checkboxes - whatever the producer configured).

Mobile — Public judge agreement

-
Watch for a confirmation on screen.

Wait for the producer to approve your agreement if their workflow requires it.
-
When you receive a credentials / set-password email, open it and choose a password.

¶ After you submit
| Stage | What you do |
|---|---|
| Submitted | Wait; don't submit the agreement again |
| Approved | Watch email for set-password / login help |
| Logged in | Open Scoring Details, Contest Details, then score when live |
If you're still waiting, send the producer one polite message instead of opening the link again.
¶ Tips
-
Don't forward your invite link - it is tied to your email and invitation token.
-
Add the squirrelscore.com email domain to your allow-list so the set-password message doesn't land in spam.
-
After login, skim Scoring contestants before contest day.
¶ Common Mistakes
-
Editing a forwarded link meant for someone else
-
Ignoring the set-password email and trying to log in on contest day without a password
¶ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the email on the agreement?
No - the invite locks it. Ask your producer to resend to the correct address if it's wrong.
The link says invalid or expired.
Ask the producer for a fresh invitation. Old tokens retire.
I already have a SquirrelScore login.
You may still need to complete this contest's agreement. After approval, use your existing login if the producer tied the invitation to your account - or follow the set-password email if you're new.
Do I score from the agreement page?
No. Agreement first > approval > login > Judging Sections.
