Please evaluate the competitors’ entries based on the following criteria. Judges will use a scale from 1 to 10 to score the entries, with points 1 through 4 reflecting a fundamental approach, 5 through 7 being average, and 8 through 10 representing the most refined performances. The evaluation will be based on the following three categories:
1. Technicality: Assess the level of execution from the combatant. Judges should consider the accuracy of the performance, the degree of difficulty in the routine, and the overall skill displayed within the 60 to 90-second performance.
2. Presentation: Examine the contestant’s grasp of executing “Turntablist” techniques. Judges should evaluate the balance in executing body tricks, scratching, and “beat juggling.” Higher scores should be given to contestants who accurately and smoothly perform all three techniques. The transition between different segments of the routine and the demonstration of personal style and personality should also be considered.
3. Originality: Look for independent and creative approaches to the techniques taught. Each contestant trains under me, so similarities are expected. However, judges should reward contestants who attempt to apply the taught techniques in unique and creative ways, even if it’s in small ways.
After evaluating the contestants, fill in the scores for each category and provide an overall score for each contestant. Don’t forget to include any comments you have regarding their performances.

Technicality: 4
Presentation: 4.5
Originality: 4
Overall Score: 12.5
Comments: Shaykey did a nice job telling a story in this routine, especially in the area of word play. I would have liked to see her incorporate more complex juggle patterns, but that said, her execution of the fundamental root movements was on point.
