Score Entry

This is your main task as a judge. Providing fair, accurate, and professional scores to each participant:

Scoring Process

  1. From Dashboard, click the "Input Score" button on the event you want to judge
  2. You will see a list of participants registered in that event
  3. Click the "Score Entry" button on the participant you want to score
  4. The scoring modal will open with a Dial Pad for easy score input
  5. Enter Content Score and Achievement Score (0-100), then write hermeneutic notes

How to Use Dial Pad

The Dial Pad is designed to facilitate quick and accurate score input, especially on mobile devices:

Example:
Click score field → Tap number 8 → Tap number 7 → Tap dot (.) → Tap number 5 → Result: 87.5
Important
Scores must be in the range 0-100. The system will automatically reject inputs that exceed this limit. Make sure you give scores carefully and fairly.

Hermeneutic Notes

Hermeneutic notes are narrative explanations of your scoring. Write the reasons for giving scores, strengths, and areas that need improvement by participants. These notes are very valuable for constructive feedback.

Best Practices for Professional Judges

As a judge in Supremusic, you hold great responsibility. Here are the best practices you should apply:

  1. Objectivity: Give scores based on established criteria, without subjective influence or personal relationships with participants.
  2. Consistency: Apply the same scoring standards for all participants. Use available scoring guidelines as reference.
  3. Complete Documentation: Always include clear hermeneutic notes and multimedia documentation to support your scoring.
  4. Timeliness: Complete scoring within the specified time. Late scoring can delay result announcements.
  5. Confidentiality: Maintain the confidentiality of scores and scoring notes until official results are announced by the organizer.
Judge Code of Ethics
As a Supremusic judge, you are bound by a professional code of ethics. Violations of the code of ethics can result in revocation of judge status and blacklist from the system. Always uphold integrity, fairness, and professionalism in every scoring.
