"Skip" on judging interface is ambiguous

[arpieb]

First off, I had a blast judging @ HackGT 5, thanks for inviting me! One thing that a few of us judges were discussing was the "skip" option when checking in at a project table. During orientation, it was said to use that option if nobody was at the table to give us a new project to judge. However, there were many times when a project was already in demo for either another judge or other students that it would have been nice to "skip" to another project instead of waiting - but nobody wanted to risk flagging a project as not being present by hitting "skip" since we weren't sure what the effect would be.

That being said, maybe a better explanation of the impact on "skipping" a project (and maybe a reminder onscreen like the great voting prompts re scale points), or an additional option for passing over a project that was represented but already engaged?
