# Score an event
If you're an evaluator on an event, you can view or edit the event, allowing you to review all of the invited suppliers' responses and then score the event on the Scoring page. You can only score your assigned sections, and you cannot view other evaluators' scores. You cannot submit scores after the event is awarded, and incomplete scores are not included in the final scoring. Once you submit your scores, you cannot edit them. The evaluation start and end dates display at the top of the Scoring page. You will receive an email reminder if you still need to score your event 24 hours before the event closes.
