That's entirely up to the Judge Advisor/Judge Coordinator. Most think it's important but this is a relatively new change. And, we ran 2x Match Observers at NEU with only 13 judges, it just meant a little extra work for the other judges.
Edit: Also, the big issue with talking about how judging 'is' is that it varies from event to event because there's a fair bit of freedom in how exactly to get things done. In short, there's no One True Way.
