competition scoring

Competition scoring assigns points based on performance in various tasks or criteria. Contestants earn higher scores for better results, such as accuracy, speed, or creativity, depending on the event. Sometimes, points are deducted for mistakes. The person or team with the highest total score at the end of the competition is declared the winner. Scoring methods can vary—some use direct numerical points, others evaluate relative rankings or tiers. Overall, scoring provides an objective way to compare performances and determine the best participant within the competition's rules.
