JLP Main Features
The JLP is open 24/7 giving you access to sign up for events where you want to judge, table captain, or volunteer. Log in or Create a JLP Account to get started!
At a glance you always know exactly where you stand on an event's list thus allowing you to make travel plans in a timely manner. You can also edit and delete events, and download needed information about the events you have signed up to judge, table captain, or volunteer.
Locking In to an event in the JLP is just like boarding an airplane; it's done in groups. The JLP allows the first group to begin Locking In sixty days prior to the event. The next group is allowed to Lock In forty-five days prior to the event. And the last group is allowed to Lock In thirty days prior to the event. By locking in you are committing yourself to be at the event, on time, and ready to judge, table captain, or volunteer.
Did You Know?
The JLP is a
weighted-list system.
That means weight factors determine your position on an event's judging list. Your position will change on a list as additional judges sign up, as judges make changes to their judging preferences, as judges remove themselves from the list, and when events change the size of their lists.
Weight factors include: when you sign up, Certified Barbeque Judge status, Certified Master Judge status, your Judging Preference, and some events give you additional weight if you can judge the ancillary categories the night before rather than just judging the main categories. Finally, there are Discourteous Judge Points which negatively impact you.
