Subject: More About Scores

I was discussing this with someone today and wanted to post another bit about scores to help clarify things.

Let's say there are 3 super super strong girls in the same division. And there were, in several divisions of this pageant, many strong girls.

Put yourself in the judges' shoes. They have to pick ONE of the three strong girls. Any one of them would be worthy of the win. But they can't crown all 3, so they have to pick one. Since most judges don't give 10's, what numbers do they have to work with? 9, 8 and 7. So they give their top choice girl a 9, the next an 8 and the next a 7. They give positive comments to all 3 girls because really, they are all really good competitors.

The winner says oh, I got such a high score, I love it, and the comments are so nice. The 8 girl says hmmm, I wonder why they docked me, what did I do wrong? The 7 girl says how can they give me these low scores but still good comments?

You get the picture. All 3 girls are amazingly strong, good competitors. All deserve really good comments and super high scores. But if the judges gave them all 9's, what's the point of judges? And then if they have to break ties and give them all 9's again, we would never get to crowning. They HAVE to score one above another, and one below another, etc.

Put the numbers in perspective and realize how pageant judging really goes. Numbers are purely meant to put contestants in order that day according to a particular judge's preference.

I'm not hearing much from anyone about scores or placements, so that might be good. LOL I'm hearing lots of nice comments from people about how this is the best pageant they've ever done, they can't wait to come back, etc.

Anyway, that's it from me on scores. I'll post on here from time to time about appearance opportunities, maybe put up an appearance pic from time to time, and please feel free to do the same - both local and national titleholders.

Thanks again for a wonderful day.
