The way it worked last year was that the 5 score judges will each grade each team based on the judging scale (refer below). The highest and lowest scores are not taken into consideration. The three scores given will be added up.

There will be 2 panalty judges in addition to the score judges, the average of the points these two penalty judges give will be subtracted from the raw score given by the score judges to arraive at your final score.

Judging Scale for Team Categories

There will be a panel of 5 or more judges. The highest and lowest scores are dropped.

Penalty judges will be responsible for determining and assessing all point deductions for perfection of routine and competition safety guideline violations. There will be a panel of 2 or more judges.

These penalty points will be averaged and deducted from the subtotal of the remaining scores to reach a grand total.
