Ontario District Finals Quartet Competition

Toronto, Ontario October 16, 1999
 

SPECIAL NOTES ON SHOW PACKAGE SCORING 

This contest included the experimental "Show Package" format for the finals round. Each judge may award up to 40 points for the entire "package" presentation's entertainment value. The "SHOW" row in each finalist quartet score shows the Package score awarded by each category's panel (2 judges per category, 80 points total possible per category, 240 total possible points). The percentage shown under the "SHOW" header is the percentage awarded for Show Package points only. For example, in the first quartet, 54+53+59 =166, and 166/240 = 0.6916, or 69.2%. 

The TOTAL score is the normal contest scores PLUS the Show Package score. The overall percent average is computed by dividing TOTAL by 2640 maximum possible points (2400 contest points plus 240 show package points). For example the first quartet TOTAL is 1926, so 1926/2640 = 0.7295, or 73.0%. 

To allow comparison with quartets in other Districts which did not use the Show Package format, The percent average is calculated using the TOTAL amount LESS the Show Package scores, divided by 2400. So for the first quartet, (1926-166)/2400 = 0.7333, or 73.3%. This is the percentage that the quartets will be ranked with in the overall summary listing, even if the Show Package total percentage was higher. 

The Show Package format scoring rules also have a time penalty of one point per second over the time limit. If a quartet lost points due to a time penalty, these points would be added back into the total when calculating the contest-only percent average.
