All accredited judges will have the opportunity to participate in the Championship as First Judges with a corresponding reward, which will cover part or more of the seminar’s cost, a reward which will be announced to participants after the completion of enrollment.

Selection Criteria for the First Judge.

The selection of the First Judges who will cover all 15 categories* will be based on:

• seminar test results
• their previous experience as judges
• their previous experience as participants in competitions
• their general experience as massage therapists and massage instructors

The rest of the judges will participate as Second Judges, and will have the additional role of observer which means that they will grade normally, but their score will be considered in cases of difference greater than or equal to 10 points from the First Judge’s score or in cases of tie for the classification of medals.

For the “special mentions awards” as well as in the final of the Championship, their score will be counted normally. In addition, they will have the opportunity to write their comments to the participants for each video in their category!

The Second Judges will not receive any reward, but their participation is a prerequisite for the internship.

* some categories may be merged depending on the number of entries from the participants
