This is the criteria the judges will be using to judge the files.
This scale is out of 100 points, and the score out of 100 will be converted by Neko to /60 (score x .6 - gotta love spreadsheets) when the public review of /40 points is added.
REVIEW OF HOW THE ROUNDS BREAK DOWN (Link)
Due to the way the judging will happen, judges will probably be judging their own brackets. This is what we will do to make up for a judges' score being on average lower or higher, which would throw off their proper score for their own file.
For judges with their own file in the bracket, the judge's average will be compared to the total average of all the judges. For every 2.5 points that the judge's average is higher or lower, their song's final score will be adjusted +/- 1 point accordingly. DDR SCORING
