The past tense of the word 'judge' is 'judged'. In the English language, many regular verbs form their past tense by adding "-ed" to the end. 'Judge' is a such verb, so when you're talking about a past event where some sort of judging happened, you would say 'judged'. For instance, "The panel judged the competition yesterday." Here, the action of judging occurred in the past, hence 'judged'. This is part of how verb tenses enable us to construct sentences that clearly establish when actions occur. Past tense signals an action that has already happened. So, when you use 'judged', your listener or reader understands that the judging is complete.
