About 15 years ago I was asked to fill in at the last minute to help judge a county fair when there was an emergency with the original judge. I had a sheet very similar to that checklist but with point scores, we filled out one for each entry and had space for comments. I was selected because I was from out of the area so didn't know any of the entrants and there had been some drama in previous years over that sort of thing. Plus I was available at last minute
The quilt that won was not my personal favorite, but the workmanship was exquisite. The only fault either of us judges had was we would have probably chosen different colors -- but the colors chosen made complete sense artistically and were the vision of the maker, obviously not a kit selection, so you can't really fault it.
