We recommend a device with a keyboard (laptop, chromebook, tablets with keyboard).

We recommend not using a smartphone for writing critiques online.

Judges who prefer not to write critiques electronically, may pick up paper critiques from the tab room, but should still plan to submit ranks through the e-ballots site throughout the day.

Draw categories may double enter in any other category.
