Final :

All process stage review points are tallied, and ranked according to grade point. Each week process grading is worth up to 20 points with each reviewed criteria being worth up to 4 points each.

How Score Grading Is Tallied:

We add the total amount of scoring by all review judges during the process week. We divide the number by the amount of judges submitting grades. All scores demonstrating a final tallied grade average of .5 and under (example: 88.4), are automatically rated to the nearest lower whole number (example: 88) on scale. All numbers above .6 or above are moved to nearest high number (example: 89).
