Judge the Judge!

In order to maintain the quality of judging throughout the YPU, your Executive needs feedback.  Have you had a new judge that did well? New judges on the supplementary list need two good reports to move on. Was your last Judge too severe? or just plain bad?

We will never know if you don't tell us!
