This year’s judging method and marking scheme is based on the
model created by Black Swan last year. It aims to ensure consistency of
marking, by enabling judges to rate the same level of performance with
the same mark.Each category in the marking scheme is broken down into a hierarchy of criteria, from 15 points indicating the level of qualities and attributes expected from a team scoring maximum marks, graded down to 1 point for the minimum. The amount of text the judges have to refer to has been rationalised, with every other box blank (apart from a ‘+/-‘). This means for example that to be awarded 8 points for Sword handling a team will have achieved slightly better than the qualities listed for 7 points, but slightly less than those for 9 points.
