Adjudication
Three stages. Three distinct outcomes.
Qualification, ETO expo judging, and international final evaluation are separate processes with their own criteria.

Qualification adjudication
All three competitions use one common competency threshold. Results are pass/fail with detailed feedback, normally within two weeks of submission. Projects may be assigned to adjudicators from their represented country where applicable.

Qualification opens access to ETO and final evaluation. If a paper is not accepted initially, teams can refine and resubmit—making the process a learning experience.
Adjudicator commitment
Plan for 2–3 hours per week during the four weeks of international judging. The adjudicator application is detailed and takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete.
