BREAKDOWN OF SCORING METHOD.
The total possible score is 30. This is divided into 3 sections:
difficulty, execution, and performance (each having 10 possible
points). Breakdown:
DIFFICULTY
Difficulty is a accumulative score based upon the band members
choice of difficulty (easy=0, medium=1, hard=2, expert=3). the
difficulty choice was added up and maxed out at 10 (if all 4 picked
expert it was still 10 points not 12). This allows for the band to
take some weight off their weaker members and put it onto the
shoulders of their expert players.
EXECUTION
The execution score is based on the %'s at the end of a song.
80%=0, 81-82=1pt, 83-84=2pts....89-90=5pts,
91-92=6pts...97-99=9pts, and 100%=10pts. Each band member would get
a 1 to 10 score, and the band's score was the average of those
scores (Ex: Bass=90%, Guitar=80%, vocals=91%, Drums=100% the band
would have a 5.25)
PERFORMANCE
Performance is a completely subjective category. The judges will
simply score the band as a whole on a 1 to 10 scale and take the
average of the judges.
When you add the 3 scores up and you wind up with the band's
score
