Your judges are still scoring on paper. Your results are still late.
Judge D Show puts every score on a judge's phone the moment it happens, so your tally is accurate and ready before the last contestant leaves the stage.
You already know where this goes wrong.
Every committee runs into the same three moments, whether it's a steelband semifinal or a school talent show.
Paper sheets get lost or smudged.
Scores travel by hand between judges and a tabulation table, and there's no record of what happened in between.
Totals get added by hand, under pressure.
A rushed manual tally, with a crowd waiting, is exactly where a legitimate placement gets challenged later.
Results wait on whoever has the calculator.
The contestant who just performed, and everyone in the room, ends up waiting far longer than the performance itself.
Three steps, from PIN entry to a printed result.
Judges score on their phone.
They log in with a PIN, no app to install, and score each contestant against your own criteria and point scale.
Results tally live.
Organizers watch the tally update the moment each judge submits, with any drop-high, drop-low, or averaging rule applied automatically.
Print the official sign-off sheet.
Close out the category and print a signed record for the podium, with no transcription step in between.
Built for every judged category.
Ready-made templates cover the Carnival families. For everything else, you set up your own categories and scoring criteria. Spelling bees, science fairs, debate, showcases and hackathons all work that way.
Judges pick their pre-assigned number and unlock it with their own 4-digit PIN — no app to install, no account to create.
Organizers add judges by real name and track PIN status here. Everywhere else in the app — Live Tally, Judge Detail, printed sheets — judges only ever show as a number.
Built around your rules, not a generic form.
Every competition judges differently. Judge D Show scores to your categories, your criteria and your point splits, with a live tally while it happens and a printed sign-off sheet at the end.
No score is ever lost.
Load-tested at 20 simultaneous judges scoring at once, with zero errors and no overwritten submissions.
You know the moment the signal drops.
The app detects when a judge goes offline and warns them immediately, and any save that fails gets a one-tap retry the moment they're back online — no guessing whether a score actually went through.
One founder, in the room.
Kirt is present in person on the night of your event, not just reachable by phone or WhatsApp from somewhere else.
Your criteria, your points.
Set the criteria and point values for each category. Entries can be individuals or groups.
Blind by design.
Judges show up as numbers. Real names stay with the organizer, and each contestant can be assigned to specific judges.
Close judging, lock the scores.
When scoring ends, the organizer closes judging and scores lock. Any later correction needs a written reason on the record.
Kirt Morris has spent 25+ years in enterprise technology delivery and digital transformation, running high-stakes programs for Procter & Gamble, Under Armour, Lowe's, and Canon USA through Merkle/dentsu and Capgemini Ernst & Young. Judge D Show applies that same operational discipline — the kind large companies rely on when a launch can't fail — to something just as high-stakes in the moment: getting a competition's results right the first time.
Carnival is where Judge D Show was proven first. It has run live scoring at competitions in New York City and Baltimore, in front of real judges and real contestants, not a lab demo.
Questions worth asking before you commit.
Judge D Show is a digital judging and scoring platform for any judged competition. It replaces paper scoring and manual tallying with a system where judges score on their phones and organizers watch results come in and manage the process. Carnival is where it was proven first.
No. Judges remain responsible for evaluating performances and assigning scores. Judge D Show gives them the tools to capture, save, and organize those scores, and gives organizers the tools to tabulate results.
Yes. Categories, criteria, and scoring rules are configured to match how your competition already judges, not the other way around.
Judge D Show detects when a device loses connection and lets the judge know right away, so no one is left guessing whether a score went through. If a save fails, it can be retried with one tap once the connection returns.
Judge D Show is built for competitions where accuracy and a reliable record matter. It applies the scoring rules configured for your event, gives organizers live visibility into judging progress, and keeps a record of submitted scores. Before your event, we walk your team through exactly how the system works, so nothing is a surprise on the day of the event.
Judge D Show uses PIN-based access for judges and organizers to control who can enter or change scores. Specific technical questions about how your competition's data is handled are best discussed directly — happy to walk through it on a call.
Pricing is built around your specific competition, based on things like judge count, number of categories, and event support needs. Book a conversation to get a quote for your event.
Setup typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on the complexity of your competition, the number of categories, and how many judges and contestants are involved.
Yes. The best way to see it is a short conversation and walkthrough built around your competition. Book a call below.
Any judged competition with set criteria. Ready-made templates cover Panorama, King and Queen, Band of the Year, Calypso and Soca Monarch, Chutney, J'ouvert, Traditional Mas, Stick Fighting, Limbo, Schools Carnival and Kiddies Carnival. For talent shows, pageants, school and youth competitions, and pitch or business events, you set up your own categories and scoring criteria.
Judges use a phone or tablet to select their assigned category and contestant, then score against the competition's own criteria. The interface shows a running total as they go, so they can see exactly what they're submitting before they do.
Yes. Judge D Show runs in a mobile browser, no app to install, and works on modern smartphones and tablets.
Yes. Each category's criteria and point values are configured specifically for your competition during setup.

Yes. The organizer view shows submission progress per contestant, so it's clear who's still outstanding before results are finalized.
The organizer reviews the tally and prints the official sign-off sheet for the category. This is a deliberate step the organizer takes, not something the system finalizes automatically.
Yes. Judge D Show prints blank scoring sheets before the event, each judge's own submitted scores, and an official sign-off sheet with signature lines once a category is complete.
Scores are captured digitally instead of being transferred by hand from paper sheets, and totals are calculated automatically using the criteria configured for each category. This reduces the chances of transcription and arithmetic errors that come with manual tallying.
Before submitting, a judge can adjust any score on the card, and the running total updates live as they do. After a score is submitted, it can still be corrected, but only by the organizer, and every correction is logged.
If a judge's connection drops mid-score, Judge D Show lets them know right away rather than leaving them guessing. Nothing is lost — if a save fails, it can be retried with one tap the moment the connection is back.
No. Judges and organizers use the system directly with no technical background required, and event-day support is provided in person.
Yes. Kirt is present in person on event day, not just reachable by phone, to help keep the judging and tabulation process running smoothly.
We review your competition's categories, judging criteria, scoring rules, judges, and event-day needs, configure the platform around that, and walk your team through both the judge and organizer experience before your event.
No. Judge D Show works for any judged competition, from talent shows and pageants to school events and pitch nights. Carnival is where it was proven first, with live scoring in New York City and Baltimore, and it stays a core strength: ready-made templates cover the main Carnival and steelband families. Carnival organizations in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean diaspora, including the United States, remain a core audience.
Paper judging works, but the work doesn't end when the judge makes a decision. Sheets still have to be collected, checked, transferred, totaled, and reconciled by hand. Judge D Show moves that part of the process digital, while judges stay in full control of the actual scoring.
