Author: How Points Should Be Given
Subject: Early in the 20th century, the Irish Dancing Commission (CLRG) established a 100 mark system for judging competitors.

The distribution of points in solo dancing is 25% for timing, 25% for the steps, 25% for execution and method, and 25% for deportment and style.

In figure dancing, the distribution is 30 points for timing,30 for figures, and 40 for general effect.

In beginner through open competitions, there is one judge. In preliminary championship and championship level,
there are most often multiple judges. Competitors dance two or three at a time except in set dances and they perform two or three "steps."

Dances are of short duration and the judging is instantaneous. In the past, judges kept competitors on stage and continuously dancing until they were satisfied that all aspects of the dance were properly graded.
Up to five steps might have to be performed until the judge rang a bell signifying the competitor was finished.
