Results

You'll see a Results link with every performance in a division once the organizers release scores.

How ranks work

Performances are ranked by final score, highest first. A performance's final score is the total of every judge's score.

Performances with the same final score share a rank, and the ranks after them are skipped. If two performances tie for 1st, both are ranked 1st and the next one is ranked 3rd. In a final, both get gold and nobody gets silver.

In a showcase, performances tied on final score are compared on their category scores, starting with the highest-weighted category. Categories with the same weight have their scores combined. If the scores are still tied, the performances share a rank. On the results page, the category that broke the tie is highlighted.

Advancing to the next round

In a division with rounds, the top performances in each round advance to the next one. If performances tie for the last rank that advances, they all advance, so the next round can have more competitors than planned.

For example, a final takes the top 2 from the prelim. If one performance ranks 1st and two tie for 2nd, all three advance to the final.
