WCE Certified Judges
Judges are a vital component of World Coffee Events competitions, providing a service and skill essential to the success of each championship. In six of the seven championships, WCE Certified Judges evaluate performances by competitors according to the Rules and Regulations for that championship. Each championship has a different set of evaluation criteria and a different mix of judges on the judging panel.
