How fast are results updated?

3 seconds after the last score change (debounce). Judge enters score → instant save → recalculation after 3s → results table update without page refresh.

How does weighted scoring work?

Each criterion has a weight (default 1.0). Score = sum of (grade × weight) for each criterion. A criterion with weight 2.0 has twice the impact of one with weight 1.0.

When is extreme score elimination applied?

When enabled by the organizer and there are at least 3 judges. System drops 1 highest and 1 lowest score — result from average of remaining.

Can spectators follow results without logging in?

Yes. The /live-scores page is public and updated in real-time. The dedicated /scoreboard also requires no login — perfect for big screens.

What export formats are available?

PDF (A4 landscape with JudgeMate branding and Polish characters), Excel (spreadsheet with full table), downloadable image (result graphic).

How the Calculation Engine Works

The JudgeMate calculation engine uses a dual architecture — results calculated simultaneously client-side (instant browser preview) and server-side (Cloud Functions with database caching).

How it works: judge enters score → score saved to real-time database → automatic recalculation triggered with 3-second debounce → results cached → client subscribes to cache → UI updates automatically without page refresh.

Scoring Methods and Criteria Aggregation

3 scoring methods:

Best Run: result = MAX of all runs
Sum of Runs: result = sum of all runs
Average of Runs: result = arithmetic mean

Criteria aggregation:

Sum of Criteria: score = (grade1 × weight1) + (grade2 × weight2) + ...
Average of Criteria: score = [(grade1 × weight1) + (grade2 × weight2) + ...] / (weight1 + weight2 + ...)

Score Elimination, Best Trick and Tiebreaker

Extreme score elimination: with 4+ judges, highest and lowest scores discarded. Result from average of remainders.

Best Trick: judge averages per attempt → pick N best → sum × weight. Total = run score + (best trick × weight).

6-level tiebreaker:

Final Score
Best Run
Second Best Run
Best Trick
Third Best Run
Run Consistency %
