===Designer's are the Best Judges!===
Now that you've started making your Dream Sandcastles a reality, it's time to start honing your judging skills as well! All of the Sandcastle Designers will have the chance to put their judging skills to the test this Sunday!
That's right, those who have entered the Sandcastle Design competition, will also have the chance to be a judge!
On Sunday afternoon, all you have to do to start judging, is to check under the Menu, and select the Judging option!
The Developers have also created special awards you will receive as you judge the exciting Sandcastles!
How does the Judging work?
You will be assigned a room to judge at random.
You will not be assigned your own room to judge.
 
The maximum number of rooms you can judge is limited to 40 rooms.
Every time you complete the judging of 10 rooms, you will be awarded one of the special judging awards. 
After you enter a Sandcastle Room to be judged, your judging/rating tool will activate after 30 seconds.
In the final analysis, the ratings you give a room will be weighted based on how high your design is scored by other judges. If your design is getting all 10's, then your judging will be given more weight than if you were getting all 1's!
Judging the Judges!
That's right, judging the judges!
As an extra bonus, the judges whose actual ratings are closest to the final scores of the assigned Sandcastle Designs will receive the Best Sandcastle Judge Award!
All judging must be completed by Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 at 10:00P.M. Pacific Time.
Who will end up the winner? It is up to you to decide!
===Judge another Set of 40 Rooms===
Even More Judging the Judges - Second Annual Sandcastle Competition 2011
There have been a lot of suggestions that the judging be expanded to include more rooms!
There have also been a lot of suggestions to include some additional categories in the judging becuase of the enormous amount of creativity shown in the design of the rooms!
Building Sandcastles are all about the expression of creativity and the development of themes, settings and ambience, so categories have been added to the judging to especially include these elements of design!
So, what could be better than to combine these two great ideas and expand the Sandcastle Competition Judging!
For those who would like to have the chance to judge more of these amazing rooms, and also have more categories to choose from in their judging, just select the Judge option under the Menu and there will be 40 more rooms to judge!
As before, for each 10 rooms that are judged, there will be an award for judging! This will make it possible to receive 2 of each of the special judging awards!
In game message:Due to an issue in our new Epic Ages beta client we are going to restart the Sandcastle Judging. All judging up to this point will be reset, so if you have already judged you will need to judge again. Thanks everyone for being part of our Sandcastle Competition and thank for testing our Epic Ages beta client!
