A score is considered stray when the "connection" between an entry and a judge is broken after the judge has scored the entry.
A 'broken connection' can occur for the following reasons:
- judge(s) removed from a Panel
- entry deleted
- judge role removed from user(s)
- entry status changed from Submitted to 'Requires resubmission' or 'Revert to in progress'
The entry could have been originally assigned through a Panel or a Manual assignment and then removed. Since the system does not delete any data, the scores are marked as 'stray'. These are no longer included in the Leaderboard and exports.
If you wish to retrieve these stray scores, you will need to retrace your steps ie. add the judge back to the Panel, create a Manual assignment, mark the entry submitted and/or add the role back.
