| Judge | Technical 40% | Presentation 30% | Composition 30% | Mark |
| 1 | 5.5 | 3.4 | 4.1 | |
| 2 | 9.9 | 5.1 | 8.8 | |
| 3 | 6.7 | 2.4 | 4.6 | 47.8 |
| 4 | 8.2 | 6.7 | 8.1 | 77.2 |
| 5 | 5.7 | 4.3 | 5.0 | 50.7 |
| 6 | 6.1 | 4.2 | 5.1 | 52.3 |
TOTAL 228.0
FINAL SCORE 57.0%
To calculate the mark from Judge 3, for example, the marks for each element would be multiplied according to their weighting as follows:
6.7 x 4 + 2.4 x 3 + 4.6 x 3 = 47.8
In this case, the marks from Judge 2 (highest) and Judge 1 (lowest) will be excluded, and the total score out of 400 would be:
47.8 + 77.2 + 50.7 + 52.3 = 228.0
This would then be divided by 4 to give an average of 57.0/100 i.e. 57.0%.

TOTAL 192.0
FINAL SCORE 48%
To calculate the mark from Judge 3, for example, the marks for each element would be multiplied according to their weighting as follows:
3.4 x 5 + 4.6 x 5 = 40
In this case, the marks from Judge 2 (highest) and Judge 1 (lowest) will be excluded, and the total score out of 400 would be:
40 + 59 + 46.5 + 46.5 = 192.0
This would then be divided by 4 to give an average of 48.0/100 i.e. 48.0%.
