How are judges' scores used to determine your overall score?

• A. The final score is based on averaging all judge scores from this round only.
• B. The scores from all rounds are added together without any other steps.
• C. Each judge will give you a score from one to four, which will be added to your scores from Rounds I and II.
• D. Scores are randomly assigned after the competition.

Answer: (C)

The overall score is built by adding together what you earned in earlier rounds with the judges’ ratings for the current round. Each judge gives a rating from one to four, and you sum all of those judge scores for this round, then add that total to your scores from Rounds I and II. So your final score equals Round I score plus Round II score plus the sum of the judges’ scores from the current round. For example, if you have 7 points from Round I and 8 from Round II, and the four judges give you 3, 4, 2, and 3 in the present round (which sums to 12), your overall score would be 7 + 8 + 12 = 27. This shows why the current round’s judge ratings are combined with earlier rounds to form the final result.
