How to Set Up Scoring with Decimal Points

You can display scores from 1.5 to 5.0 by adjusting the minimum, maximum, and multiplier.

Written by Michael

Step-by-Step Setup

Go to the Criteria tab in your judging setup. Select the criterion you want to configure. Set the following values:

  • Minimum Score: 10

  • Maximum Score: 100

  • Multiplier: 0.01

How It Works

The system multiplies each score by the multiplier (e.g., 0.01). This converts the displayed scores to a decimal range (e.g., 1.0 to 10.0).

For example:

  • 10 Γ— 0.01 = 1.0

  • 50 Γ— 0.01 = 5.0

  • 100 Γ— 0.01 = 10.0

Additional Tip: Weighting Criteria

You can also use the multiplier to assign different weights to criteria.

If some criteria represent a percentage or should carry more importance, increase or decrease the multiplier accordingly. For example, a multiplier of 0.2 will double the impact of that criterion compared to one with 0.1.

This allows you to fine-tune how much each criterion contributes to the final score.

Additional Tip: Descriptors

You can add descriptors to clarify what each score represents and improve scoring consistency. Descriptors let you explain what each value (e.g., from 10 to 100) means.

  • Define what key score points mean (e.g., 15, 30, 50)

  • Provide short descriptions for performance levels

  • Example:

    • 15 = Poor / does not meet expectations

    • 30 = Average / meets expectations

    • 50 = Excellent / exceeds expectations

Descriptors help judges apply scores more consistently.

Note: Optional but recommended for clarity and consistency.

Notes

When scoring, judges will see decimal scores such as e.g., 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc. The scoring scale shown to judges is based on the raw input (e.g., 10–100), but the final displayed and calculated score reflects the multiplier.

If you need further customization, you can adjust the minimum, maximum, and multiplier values to fit your preferred scale.
