+Penalties
+
+•    Any issued Penalties MUST be reported using the Penalty Reporting Discord thread 
+•    Penalties higher in severity than a warning MUST be escalated to and then verified by the HJ team. 
+This INCLUDES penalties where you would like to ESCALATE or DEESCALATE the awarded penalty
+Some examples are:
+The initial penalty is a GAME LOSS, but you would like to award a WARNING: This De-escalation must be approved by a Head Judge
+The initial penalty is a WARNING, but you would like to award a GAME LOSS: This Escalation must be approved by a Head Judge
+Only exceptions are single “No-Show” penalties given at the 5 & 10 min marks after a round has started
+•    If you are unsure of the correct penalty at any time, please ask a fellow Floor Judge to help
+Please avoid requesting the Head Judge to assist - if you need further support, please go to the AHJ first.
+This maintains the player’s route to escalation for Head Judge appeal
+ 
+Team Checks & Result Entering
+
+
+•    Team Checks should be done on every winner for every round after Round 1, when time permits
+•    Team checks MUST be performed before entering final match results on Challonge
+•    Team lists can be found on RK9, access will be provided before the event starts
+•    If the floor is very busy team checks may be temporarily skipped, but this will be decided by the HJ team 
+•    Team checks MUST include a look through a player’s recorded battle footage to verify correct move sets
+•    Once a team check is complete it needs to be entered into the Discord Team Check Reporting Thread
+•    Challonge Admin access will be provided before the event begins 
+•    If a double no show occurs, it should be entered as -1 & -2 on Challonge, with the -1 going to the higher seeded player/the player on top of the matchup
+Please alert the HJ team of this, as a round loss penalty will also need to be applied to the player who still moved on, during the next round 
+
+Game Reviews & Disputes 
+
+•    Any Reviews MUST be reported using the “Game Review Reporting Discord Thread”
+•    When first starting the review, give each player the opportunity to explain to you their version of what happened
+•    Carefully watch the video footage of the issue on each phone, to get both perspectives entirely
+•    The players will need to point out the specific technical issue that affected them, which means you should not be looking for the issues yourself
+•    If the game review is complicated and if you're not confident with your decision, please ask another judge to look at the footage with you
+Please avoid requesting the Head Judge to assist - if you need further support, please go to the AHJ first.
+This maintains the player’s route to escalation for Head Judge appeal
+•    Be mindful of the time you spend trying to resolve the dispute. If you've been only watching video footage for over 5-10 mins you could possibly be overthinking it.
+•    Explain your ruling clearly to both players, and remind them that they can appeal to the head judge team
+•    Once leaving the table, you must enter the review details in the corresponding discord thread
+•    Please don't put yourself in situations where you can be accused of being Biased. You should not be making rulings on matches that involve family, friends or faction teammates. Get another judge to take over in situations like this 
+
+Stream Judging
+
+•    Team checks are to be performed on both players before the match begins. This will be done by another judge before hand & not by the active judge on stream
+•    Blank match slips will be provided. Please fill them out and have both players sign it. This is to mark the official ending of the match before they leave the stream stage. Which means no further appeals can happen
+•    Keep an out for possible signaling from spectators, by ensuring players are not looking into crowd during games
+•    Players have 2 min in-between games to lock in team selections 
+•    Matches are to be recorded using the provided device on stage
