Why a competition's Jurors page can be empty

This competition mentions a jury but the Jurors page shows nobody, why?

An empty Jurors page means nobody has been attached to that competition's jury panel yet. The page exists because the competition has a jury section, and the section is filled in separately from creating it, so the two can be out of step for a long time. It is not a loading fault and refreshing will not populate it.

What you are seeing, and where the button goes

The 'No jury members available for this competition' empty state with the View Our Jurors button.

The page shows the line "No jury members available for this competition" and a View Our Jurors button. That button does not go to this competition's panel. It opens uni.xyz/about/jurors in a new tab, which is UNI's general roster of jurors across the platform, not the people judging the competition you were reading.

On some competitions the sidebar entry itself is replaced by an outbound Jurors link to that same roster, so selecting it takes you off the competition entirely. If that happens, you have not lost your place: use your browser's back navigation, or the tab it opened.

Why panels are often not there

Being listed is not the same as judging

The jury section is a published description of the panel. It is not the mechanism that gives jurors work. Somebody can be shown on a competition's jury page and have no entries assigned to them, and evaluation can be under way on a competition whose page shows nobody.

That gap matters if you are a juror yourself. Your juror dashboard is empty covers it from that side.

What an empty panel means for the leaderboard

The jury column on a competition's leaderboard is built from the jurors attached to its jury section. When nothing is attached there, no jury scores are gathered under that competition and the leaderboard shows community numbers only, with the jury column removed rather than left blank. See What each leaderboard column means.

If you want to know who is judging

Ask the organiser through the competition page rather than waiting on the section to fill. Contacting competition organizers and the UNI team has the route. An unannounced panel is not a sign that the competition is not being judged: evaluation runs to the published schedule either way.
