The Chantilly tournament used the checklists, I found them very useful
to share with the kids. Information provided was clear, and I imagine
quick for the judges as it's mostly just a checklist of observed
behaviors. Most judges also put a comment or two at the bottom. I find
this much more helpful than actual scores.
Thanks to the person who designed these!

Nope, the checklists were the work of a coach, actually, who did the
first one on spec. I think they were great, and hope to use them
state-wide!

At the Sterling tournaments, the judges did, in fact, complete an
extensive and detailed one-page check-list of pros and cons. I don't
have those sheets in front of me, but I recall perhaps 20-25 check-boxes
under both the pro and con categories, organized by Rubric area. There
was also a space at the bottom for written comments. The coaches were
handed those sheets at the same time the kids were receiving their
participation ribbons, leaving it up to us when to review the notes and
in what way to share them with the kids.
This was far more, and more detailed, feedback than we'd received in
previous years (those times there'd been a quarter-sheet form with only
a few broad-category check-boxes), and we are grateful to those who
composed the forms (was that you, Phil Smith?) and to the judges for
making good use of them. Larry, perhaps you could work with your
regional organizers to introduce such a practice next year.
