JAMfest uses a scoring system be similar to that of gymnastics and figure skating. In each category, scores will range anywhere from 0-20 including tenths of points (Example 7.7, 13.0, 22.6, etc.). Review score sheets to see particular division breakdowns. Each judge’s total score will be converted to a 10-point scale. These scores will be added and then averaged. After the scores are averaged all point deductions and/or rule violations will be deducted from the average score to get the final score.

Example Score Sheet:
