Calculating the Artistic Scoring
-
What is the correct way to do scoring of Freestyle Artistic
-
When calculating the total placing points for each competitor, should only 1 high and 1 low be eliminated, or 2 high and 2 low (1 high/1 low from each of Presentation and Technical judging results)
-
Is the scoring method different for NAUCC and UNICON
-
This may be true because there are fewer judges at NAUCC than at UNICON (the rulebook states 5 of each judge type at all times...but I don't think that NAUCC always has that)
Rulebook section Full Rulebook:
5.10 Scoring In all events except Standard Skill, the scores of each judge are transferred into placing points, which represent the ranking of each competitor by that judge. The highest scoring competitor gets 1 placing point, the next one gets 2, and so on.
Note: The ranking number, or highest placing point available for a competitor depends on the number of entries in that category. If two or more competitors have the same score, they are awarded equal portions of the total number of placing points available for the places they occupy in the ranking. Example: Seven competitors. Four of them tie for 2nd place. 7th place gets 7 points, 6th place gets 6 points, and 1st place gets 1 point. For the other four competitors, add up the other placing points numbers: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14. Divide this by the number of competitors (4) to get 3.5 placing points each.
5.10.1 Removing The High And Low After determining placing points as above, discard the highest and lowest placing score for each rider. If Rider A has scores of 1,2,1,3,2, take out one of the ones, and the three. Then Rider A has 1,2,2, for a total of 5. If Rider B has scores of 2,2,2,2,2, he will end up with 2,2,2, a total of 6. The winner is the competitor with the lowest total placing points score after the high and low have been removed.
Ambiguity here is whether the elimination is done to each of the judge types separately when calculating the total placing points for a competitor.
5.10.2 Ties If more than one competitor has the same placing score after the above process, those riders will be ranked based on their placing scores for Technical. The scoring process must be repeated using only the Technical scores for the tied riders to determine this rank. High and low placing scores are again removed in the process. If competitors’ Technical ranking comes out equal, all competitors with the same score are awarded the same place.
Ambiguity is reinforced here by re-iterating the fact that High and Low scores are removed in the process (though it says the scoring process is repeated "using only the Technical scores"...does this mean that the high-low elimination is done with only the technical scores too)
I have written up some scoring examples in an effort to clarify the exact method that scoring and tie breaking should occur. Please feel free to provide additional examples and comments, if you feel that there are better examples.
