Group Website B The Farmers Museum More House For judging at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, students are asked to use the Library entrance (off the fenced park on Fair St.). Final run-off judging: 2:00 pm 4:00 pm Due to the large number of entries in some categories, judging was split into more than one group. As a result, final run-off judging will select the top projects from each first-round group to determine the entries to advance to the National Competition. During final run-off judging, a new set of judges will review the projects ONLY; no interviews take place at this time. As a result, the only run-offs that will be announced are for the Performance and Documentary categories. Students in these categories must be available to perform or run their entries beginning at 2:00 PM. Exhibit, Paper and Web Site run-offs will not be announced; and judging for those categories does not require the students presence.
