  41. 2008 Dance Team Points of Emphasis

  42. Score Sheet Training Know the Score Sheet and Improve as a Coach!

  43. Purpose of the Score Sheet • To provide black and white tools to judges: • A scale which assists in remaining consistent • MSHSL-specific criteria to develop a score • A scoring system to determine a team’s rank • Provides 10 categorical areas of feedback from judges to coaches, which can be used to improve the routines.

  44. Tools of the Score Sheet Tool 1: The Scale Minnesota Average Tool 2: The Format Tool 3: The Criteria

  45. Tool #1 – The Scale The Minnesota Average is used to keep judges consistent – meet to meet, class to class and location to location. It is based on CURRENT routines of ONLY Minnesota State High School League teams. Out of date routines and/or teams that do not participate in the MSHSL dance team program, when using the scale, skews the average and does not allow all judges in all areas to stay consistent, one to the other.

  46. The First Team Performs Judges write comments on their tally sheet detailing the components of the routine and how they are being performed while watching the team KCTs are timing the routine, counting kicks, watching to see if teams run on or off the floor and this year, will start counting the # of competitors on the floor

  47. Scoring The judges look over their notes and record each category score and the final score on their tally sheet. This can take one to two minutes.

  48. First Team Average Example: 53 43 55 50 49 = average score of 50 Range of Scores: 43 – 55 or 12 Points Optimal Range: 5 points on either side of the average or 45 -55 It is recommended that judges consider bringing their scores within a recommended range of the average to start the meet on scale.

  49. Second Team Performs Judges record each category score and final score on their tally sheet. They check to make sure that their scores for the 1st two teams are on scale and reflect what they saw. The 1st and 2nd team’s score sheets are filled out and turned in to the runner. The runner checks to see if the team’s name on the bottom of the sheet is correct & that the judge signed the sheet. They run the 1st two sheets for all judges to the tab room After the 1st two teams, score sheets are taken to the tab room after each team is scored.

  50. Score and Rank Tally After the score sheets are turned in, each judge records her/his scores on a separate tally. At the end of the meet, the judge ranks each team on this tally, based on the score. They turn this tally sheet into the superior judge at the end of the meet. The superior uses it to double check that each judge’s scores and ranks match up with the scores on the score sheet and are reflected on the ranking sheet. NOTE: Judges are not allowed to change their scores once the score sheet has gone to the tab room unless a score has been transposed incorrectly.
