Scoring: Scoring will be conducted on a 1-10 point scale:
• 9-10 =Excellent
• 7-8 =Very Good
• 5-6= Good
• 3-4= Average
• 1-2 = Below Average
Highest composite scores will determine the winners. In the event of a tie, top three finalists will answer a question on stage that is worth up to 10 bonus points. Bonus points will be added to the composite score already earned to determine the runners-up and winners.
If the interviews do not resolve the tie(s), Judges will rank their favorites in order from one to five. Votes will be tallied. If this still does not respove the tie, the higher individual competition score will determine the winner.
