Discussion

I don't want to "mess up" the draft above, but am thinking we could separate (into separate sections)

* scoring, and awards presentation efficient? (moved close to end)
* material clear and legible?
* registration and CP workers competent?

I guess we're putting discussion here rather than in the talk page.

Anyway, the rallyemaster doesn't have much control over registration, so we shouldn't count that as part of the "best rallye" awards (although it may still be useful feedback). It would be good to ask about the beginners school too, although we shouldn't expect upper division rallyists to answer that question. And we shouldn't count it when someone other than the rallyemaster gives the class.

I like the idea of putting the questions in rough chronological order (i.e., moving scoring and awards presentation towards the end).

And as we mentioned last night, very few people can offer meaningful feedback on whether protests were handled fairly. Perhaps a better indicator would be how often the protest committee overrules the rallyemaster.

I did many of the tasks that we had been talking about. See what you think.

I also propose that each question get scored by those who answer that question, so partial evaluations are used.
