The Competition Judges are informed of the criteria for awarding points on a scale of 0-7 for each section.
　大会審判は評点の基準を知らされ、セクション毎に０− 7のスケールでポイントを与えます。

“To receive the maximum amount of points, performances should be well executed with careful attention paid to the synchronization of dance moves to the music. Movements should be precise, clear and easy to recognize, and movements relevant to their discipline of greater difficulty and complexity will receive higher scores. Transitions between moves should be smooth and orderly. Individual confidence will be recognized, with stress placed on energy, enthusiasm, and strong stage presence. Creative openings and endings to performances as well as theme and story will also receive high scores. Choreography will be judged on level of difficulty, use of relevant movements, transitions, and synchronization with music.”
