Yup, having looked at the Scoresheets, Steve was scoring 9s and 10s for his imposed tricks, versus 7s and 8s for Dave.
3 judges to 0 for Steve.
Dave's ballet tricks is a stronger score, which appears to be mainly down to attempting slightly simpler tricks and getting better results from them.
2-1 to Dave.
The ballet style scores are near identical for all of the judges.
2-1 to Steve.
Now that we have two Tricks Parties under our belts, I have a range of questions to point at Roger and his team. The guidelines are ambiguous in a number of areas and I want to make sure that we have everything completely up to speed at the next Tricks Party (July 17 - Southampton).
For example, we will add line judges and penalties from the next competition onward.
Thanks especially to Jason, ABW and Matt for helping out with the judging. This is a great help and it is particular good to have "qualified" judges for this competition in it's early stages.
