JUDGING CRITERIA

These are the criteria against which you will be judged. You will be given a point for covering the relevant question. Therefore by following the criteria given here, you can maximize your score and ensure you focus on the correct aspects of your song. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: 10 The judges will score you as a group based on their overall knowledge.

SCORES AND RESULTS

In this round, you will be judged and critiqued by SEVEN judges. The judges will each make AT LEAST one positive and one constructive comment and these will NOT be intended personally but to help you improve so please be prepared to hear constructive criticism. TAKE NOTE: THIS IS COMPLICATED... Each coach has 4 teams of 5 people each. Those teams will have their scores added together, and the coaches will be ranked... The top 5 coaches will not have ANY eliminations. In other teams, the eliminations will happen from the lowest scored team of 5 people... so you want to be the best in your group, but also you want to be sure your group has the best overall score. Eliminations will occur as follows: Coach Rank 1-5 = No elimination Coach Rank 6-7 = 1 elimination (1 from lowest team) Coach Rank 7-8 = 3 eliminations (2 from lowest team, and 1 from the 3rd ranked team) Coach Rank 9-10 = 7 eliminations (3 from lowest team, and 2 from the 3rd ranked team) Coach Rank 11-12 = 9 eliminations (4 from lowest team, and 3 from the 3rd ranked team) 200 people will move on to the the next round. HIDDEN IMMUNITY There is no hidden immunity in this round. RISE TO THE TOP Those who gained immunity after R3 will not be eliminated this round. R4 will NOT grant immunity to anybody for the next round. This feature will return, however, in the next round.
