Hi all

We are still looking for more judges. There are currently around 500 entries that have been registered with QABC and we really need more judges for the day.

Please follow the link above to the comp site to register your interest.

We will pair you with an experienced judge if you have never judged before.

Please register ASAP if you are keen.

Hi Nick,

When are the judging allocations being released for this? I signed up on the website but haven't heard anything since.

Hi Nick,

When are the judging allocations being released for this? I signed up on the website but haven't heard anything since.

We want to complete registration this weekend so we know how many entries were dropped off. Once we have that we can assign judges to categories. We will get an email around next week with the details. The timings though will be 8.30am arrival for a 9am start at Newstead Milton.
