Voting Form
Here is the verbatim text from the Voting Form:
Welcome to the Official High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan: People’s Choice 2023 Judge portal!
Please find the product name on your products and submit scores for the correct entries here. You must submit scores and detailed comments for ALL products. We recommend trying each product and submitting scores for each product one by one as you go. Please ensure you judge by the deadline of June 25!
Please review the sample and grade on the following scale : 1 = Very Poor/Unfavorable 10 = Very Good/Favorable
You must also include 2-3+ sentences of detailed comments on your experience with each product. Please be as detailed and thorough as possible. Ex: “Ex: “A perfect little portion of wax that hits you in the face with lemony diesel aromas. The color is a bright tan and looks so smooth and rich. It has a delightful lemon pez candy flavor on the first puff. Following that is a quick hitting high that produces a nice wave of elation & slight muscle relief without the couch lock. A very enjoyable & easy to dab concentrate that I would never turn away.”
IMPORTANT: Please keep track of which entries you have scored so you do not miss or duplicate any. In the case of a duplicate responses, the most recent response will be recorded.
All products must be reviewed and submitted by Sunday, June 25 at 11:59pm ET. Failure to submit scores and detailed comments for each entry may result in disqualification from future competitions.

* indicates a required field.
This process is VERY time consuming. You have to fill out this exact form for however many products were in your bag.
In most cases this is 20+ times you have to fill this form out!
You can obviously skip the non-required fields, but this process is much more involved than the Zalympix before it.
Outro
I don’t know if I’m a big fan of the High Times Cannabis Cup voting process.
The process is very detailed and allows for a lot of personal input to be provided for each entry.
But if you were voting on multiple bags (like myself), it seems a bit much.
What do you guys think?
How was the voting compared to Zalympix?
