The judging form freeze has passed! Now it's time to review your judging form!


Judging Form Review Period
Judging Form Re-Opens October 18 at 6:00PM EDT
Judging Form Closes October 21 at 11:59PM EDT
(same time as the Wiki and Registry Freeze!)


JUDGING FORM

Use this review period to make sure everything is correct on your forms: Make sure your parts show up, that your required links work, and that you've filled out descriptions for awards you want to self-nominate for. Be sure to look out for error messages, and don't forget to click "Save".

You can email hq [AT] igem [DOT] org at any time with questions about error messages on your judging form.

Wiki Freeze, Registry Freeze, and GitHub Freeze
October 16

All online project documentation on Team Wikis, Registry part pages, and GitHub must be complete by October 21 at 11:59PM EDT. Behind the scenes, we have seen teams in previous years lose entire wikis due to last minute changes at the midnight deadline (11:59PM EDT). Look below for advice from iGEM Headquarters.

General Advice:

  • NO EDITS WILL BE ALLOWED after the freeze, and no extensions will be granted (no exceptions!)
  • It is not possible for two people to edit the same page at the same time; you may lose information if this happens, so you should be aware of what your teammates are up to.
  • Due to the increased loads on our servers close to the deadline, users can experience delays. DO NOT leave your documentation to the last minute.

Wiki Advice:

  • DO NOT leave your documentation to the last minute, and avoid making last minute tweaks to your wiki code (especially your css/formatting files).
  • Review the wiki rules; Failure to follow rules may prevent your team from winning medals or prizes.
  • Review your Pages for Awards; Make sure alert boxes are deleted from the code, not just commented out.

Registry Advice:

  • Document ALL part data on Registry Part Pages, not just on your team wiki. Judges will only evaluate part data on the Registry.
  • DO NOT copy code from your wiki to the Registry at the last minute; Copying data from the wiki to Registry pages can generate errors. Write directly into registry pages, or leave extra time for re-formatting
