Score sets control the judging mode used in your program and determine what judges see when evaluating an entry. You can configure multiple score sets to run different stages of judging—even at the same time. At least one score set is required to configure judging.
To learn how score sets work, see: How do score sets work?
While every mode has different settings within the score set, some settings are common across all judging modes.
To create a score set:
- In the Manage workspace go to Judging > Settings > Score sets
- Click New score set
- Enter a Score set name
- Choose a judging mode
- In the 'Rules' box, define your specifications—these options vary by judging mode
- Click Save
Additional options can be configured to fine tune your setup.
