SCORE LIKE A JUDGE
READING TIME · 1 MIN
Three steps, from the opening bell to the final decision. Here's how SCORING NERDS works.
STEP 1
SCORE EVERY ROUND
As each round ends, score it the way the judges do: the winner gets 10, the loser 9 or fewer. A dominant round is 10-8; a rare even round is 10-10.
Score it as you saw it, live. You can change a round until the scoring window closes, seven days after the event.

COMPARE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND FRIENDS
As soon as you've scored a round, the community's scores for it open: the score most people gave it, and how they split. Add up the rounds and you have the community's card.
Add friends to put their cards next to yours, round by round, and see who saw it the same way.

OFFICIAL CARDS REVEALED
Once the result is official, the judges' scorecards are laid next to your card and the community's.
See whether your card and the community's picked the judges' winner, and which rounds you saw differently.
