Text Box: What does “Suzi Eligible” mean?

Five judges see qualifying shows on opening night, then score the various elements.  These scores are averaged for each judge, then for the production as a whole.  

Based on those scores and according to the published formula, the judging chair determines whether the rest of the judging panel should see the show for end-of-season Nominations and final voting.  

“Suzi Eligible” means the whole judging panel will see it, and that the show is in the running for Nominations at the end of the season.
