JUDGING
This even will be judged by a panel of three judges (Max Cohn, Alfonso Cartagena & Brannan Johnson) by the following categories:
1) Technical: Axis control, level control, heading control, proximity control
2) Artistic: Style, beauty, flow
3) Difficulty: Complexity and diversity of maneuvers
4) 'Go Big': Innovation and intensity.
Method of scoring:
Scale of 1 to 10 (10 being a the highest score)
Each judge scores each competitor in each category once, regardless of how many rounds a competitor's performance is broken into.
Each judge will add up all four categories for each competitor and establish their own 'results' (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...).
The three judges will then add up each competitor's 'results score' and the competitors with the lowest 'total results' scores, are then designated as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc..
For the Open and Two-way divisions, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placed competitors advance to the 'finals round'.
For the open and two-way divisions, the 'semi-final' scores are not linked to the 'finals' round.
If there is a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'go big score'.
If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'difficulty score'.
If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'technical score'.
If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'artistic score'.
If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using their best judgment.
There is a fourth part of the judging system based on pier judging. 75% of the competitors score and ranking will be based upon the judge’s decisions. The other 25% will be dictated by fellow competitors by a pier voting system at the end of every round.
