Competition & General Guidelines
JUDGING
2022 COMPETITION DIVISION ENTRY RULES
A panel of highly qualified, competent judges will judge all performances.
All contestants, teachers, and parents agree that the method of judging shall be solely within the discretion of the directors of BODL and that all decisions of the judges are final.
Contestants will be adjudicated against a point system. In this way, the contestants receive a more accurate evaluation of their performance.
Also, participants must have at least two groups competing to be awarded a top score award.
With this scoring system, multiple, First, Second, and Third adjudication awards may be presented within each age division for each category of competition. A Scoring Summary can be picked up at the Auditor's table at the end of competition day.
