The scorecard that ends the argument.
Judges score by category, the crowd votes by star, and JudgeIt totals both live so the winner isn't up for debate.

Ghost Pepper Brisket · Smoke & Mirrors BBQ, a sample entry for this demo.
The old way
Every cook-off ends in a paper-slip argument.
Judges scribble numbers on scraps of paper, someone’s math is off, and the tiebreaker turns into a shouting match. By the time the ribbons come out, nobody trusts the score.
With JudgeIt
One rubric, every phone, one stamped result.
JudgeIt puts the same scoring criteria on every judge’s device, totals the weighted score automatically, and posts a live leaderboard the second scores come in. The winner is settled by math, not volume.
The rubric
Every event starts with the same weights.
Taste counts for 40, Presentation for 30, Originality for 30. Judges score each entry against this from their own phone, and JudgeIt does the multiplication. JudgeIt Pro lets you rename the categories and set your own weights.
At every booth
One code per entry, no sign-up sheet.
JudgeIt generates a QR code for every entry. Print it and set it on the table, and guests scan straight into that dish’s vote screen: one to five stars, one vote per device, no account and no download.
Live results
Two leaderboards, one podium.
People’s Choice and Judges Choice total live, side by side, with a podium view for the top three. Ties are marked, not hidden.
Here, the crowd’s #1 is the judges’ #2. Two rubrics, two different winners.

What else JudgeIt handles
PIN-locked judge mode
Judges enter a separate PIN before their phone unlocks weighted scoring, so a scanned booth code can’t accidentally cast a judge score.
Booth visit tracker
Attendees see a progress bar of how many booths they’ve visited, so nobody skips a table by accident.
