The Script tab builds the run-of-show document that goes with your judge's book — the spoken introductions, judge biographies, titleholders, and sponsor acknowledgements that guide your event from start to finish. You fill in each part of the script, then generate a finished PDF you can hand to your emcee. When you're ready to produce the combined contestant book itself, see Exporting Paperwork.

⭐ Plus feature — This is available on the Plus plan. See Plans & Upgrading.

Before You Start

The Script builder is part of the Plus plan. If you don't see the Script tab, you'll first need to upgrade — see Plans & Upgrading. You'll also want your competition's applicants reviewed and in order first; see Managing Applications.

Opening the Script Builder

The Script builder lives on your competition's control center.

  1. Open the competition you're working on to reach its Competition Dashboard.
  2. Click the Script tab near the top of the page.
  3. Wait a moment for your script details to load.

Filling In the Opening Details

The top of the script covers who is on the microphone and who is being introduced.

  1. In the Emcee & Judge's Chair card, type your host's name in Emcee Name.
  2. Type the name of the person chairing the judges in Judge's Chair Name.
  3. In the Current Titleholders card, fill in Current Teen Titleholder and Current Miss Titleholder so they can be welcomed during the show.

Adding Judges

Each judge you add gets an introduction in the finished script. You can add up to five.

  1. Find the Judges Panel card.
  2. Click Add Judge at the top-right of that card. (The button shows how many you've added, such as "Add Judge (2/5).")
  3. In the new judge block, type the judge's full name in Name.
  4. Type the introduction you'd like read aloud in Biography.
  5. Repeat for each judge. You'll need at least four judges for a complete script.
  6. To remove a judge, click the trash-can button at the top-right of that judge's block.

Adding Sponsors

Sponsors are thanked at the end of the script.

  1. Find the Sponsors card.
  2. Click Add Sponsor at the top-right of that card.
  3. Type the sponsor or company name in Sponsor Name.
  4. Type how you'd like them thanked in Acknowledgment / Description.
  5. Repeat for each sponsor.
  6. To remove a sponsor, click the trash-can button at the top-right of that sponsor's block.

Saving Your Work

Your script is not finished until you save it.

  1. Click Save Script near the top of the tab.
  2. Wait for the button to finish; the page shows when the script was last saved.

Checking for Missing Information

Before you generate the document, Pageant Pass can show you anything that's still blank. Missing details aren't a roadblock — they're simply filled with placeholder stubs (such as "[Judge 2 BIO]") in the PDF so you can fill them in by hand later.

  1. If anything is incomplete, a View Missing Data button appears near the top of the tab, with a count in parentheses.
  2. Click View Missing Data to open a summary panel that slides in from the side.
  3. Review the two lists: Script Configuration (details about the show itself) and Delegate Information (details still needed from contestants).
  4. Close the panel, fill in what you can, and click Save Script again.

Generating the Script PDF

When you're happy with the script, turn it into a document.

  1. Click Generate Script PDF near the top of the tab.
  2. Wait while Pageant Pass builds the file; the button reads "Generating PDF…" until it's done.
  3. Your finished script downloads to your device.

This script is a companion to the judge's book itself — the script is the run-of-show your emcee reads, while the judge's book is the combined packet of contestant paperwork the judges review. Many Directors generate both so judging day runs smoothly.
