Use this guide for formats where prelims are judged by role and finals are judged as couples.

Prerequisites

  • Event and competition already created
  • Floors configured

2. Create class triplet per category

Create Jack’n’Jill classes as:

Even final-only workflows should keep this structure.

For each class:
