What information is required to be included on each scoresheet by judges?

Including the full name and judging rank on each scoresheet is essential for transparency and accountability in the judging process. This information helps to ensure that the judges are recognized for their evaluations and also contributes to the integrity of the competition. It allows participants to understand who evaluated their entries, promoting clarity and trust in the judging process. Furthermore, having the judging rank specified helps differentiate the level of expertise and authority of the judges, providing context to the scores given.

While other options may provide useful information in certain contexts, they do not pertain directly to the requirements specifically outlined for scoresheets in the BJCP. Judging criteria and rules might govern the overall competition but are not part of what needs to be documented on individual scoresheets. Rationale for scores could be beneficial for feedback but is not mandated for inclusion on every scoresheet. The names of other judges present could help in clarifying the judging environment but is not required information for each scoresheet. Thus, the inclusion of the full name and judging rank meets the established guidelines for scoresheet documentation.
