Re: A solution for Animation Judging for 2005
Yes, scoring is VERY inconsistent. Last year, we received an atrocious score from the judges in the technical portion: A 1.1 out of 20 if I remember correctly. Our animation featured character animation, bipeds, and lip syncing. We were using some of the most advanced features of 3ds max! I feel we used all those features successfully, and so did other teams, because we won 2 (or 3?) regionals.

I also agree with Salik that a scenario aforementioned could easily happen. There is no standard to base the grading off of. 0 to 100 is huge. How are you supposed to know what a 50 is? A 50 could mean average, since it's half the max score. A 50 could mean atrocious if you think about in the sense that it's a 'failing' grade. So who knows!
