Writer Instructions

1. Scan the QR code on your sub-show's writer cover sheet at the judging table (or type the URL printed underneath it) to open the writer page for that sub-show.
2. Sign in, or make an account if you're new. Already entered this show through the portal with just your email (no password)? When you go to make an account, HARES notices and automatically shows a Claim your account page — set a password there and your past entries stay linked. (A Forgot password? link sits on the sign-in box too, so you don't have to leave to reset.)
3. Pick the breed → pick the class.
4. Assign the judge and check the writer's name.
5. Type each animal's placement (1, 2, 3) as the judge calls it — or pick it from the dropdown that opens under the box. Typing and tapping both work; on a phone the dropdown is the reliable one.
6. Special codes:
   • DQ disqualified
   • NP not placed
   • U unworthy of award
   • S scratched / no show
7. Tap Save when the class is done.
8. After all classes in a variety are complete, pick Best of Variety (BOV) / Best Opposite of Variety (BOSV) — or BOG / BOSG (or BOB / BOS) for breeds without that layer.
   Tap Save and move to the next class.
9. Continue until all classes are filled in.
10. For breeds with groups, pick BOG / BOSG.
11. Finish with BOB / BOS.
12. Click Save & Check to make sure it's right.
13. Click Submit & Lock when everything is in and the judge is done judging.

Writing more than one sub-show? Each writer page you open (by scanning its QR) drops a tab across the top of the screen. Once you've opened, say, Open A and Youth A, switch between them by tapping the tab — no re-scanning a QR or hunting for the link. The tabs stay on your device for about 12 hours after you last use them, then clear themselves.
