Hi Vicki. It is Kay from the kingdom of Aragon, anyway, when we judge we<BR>
discuss the item that is being judged to see if there is anything that<BR>
we missed. On occasion we will even call the artisan back in for more<BR>
questions before we actually do the scoring. Each judge then scores<BR>
according to their feelings on the item. Sometimes the scores are<BR>
unanimous other times they are not. We do toss out the lowest score and<BR>
average the rest. This seems to be the norm for the Adrian Empire. Hope<BR>
that is helpful to you. We also recommend that anyone who is seriously<BR>
doing the arts get on to the Adrian empire site to look at the manuals<BR>
so that they are aware of the criteria and the way the items are judged.<BR>
Thanks, dame Eleanor of Aquitaine (new persona name Rhianna Moyes) Arts<BR>

Just a quick note on this one. If we have 4 judges, we<BR>
toss the score that is furthest away from the others.<BR>
It's often, but not always, the lowest score.<BR>

<BR>
Do they do their critiques individually? Or as a<BR>
panel, so there is some discussion before the judges<BR>
score the entries? Are you provided with the input (so<BR>
you can use their comments for your next project)?<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for your time in explaining this system.<BR>
