Scoring Guidelines for Frame Fiesta Scavenger Hunt
We will be utilizing a scoring feature of Visual Pursuits that allows members to use a slider to give a score to an image. The slider moves from 0 to 100 but to make things easier and to more closely follow the same scoring guidelines that our judges use we are using the same scoring system but multiplying by a factor of 10.
The following equivalents are to be used when you score an image:
6 to 6.5 – poor, with significant faults - You score 60 or 65
7 to 7.5 - average, with no or minor faults - You score 70 or 75
8 to 8.5 - above average to very good - You score 80 or 85
9 to 9.5 - excellent, with exceptional factors - You score 90 or 95
10 - exceptionally good with a WOW factor - You score 100
IMPORTANT - Do not score other than in these multiples of 5.
