Overview
In this module, we’ll look specifically at style of Exhibition scoresheets officially adopted by both Army JROTC and Marine Corps JROTC as well as the sheets most commonly utilized by Air Force JROTC (and many other) programs.
While these scoresheets are aesthetically different and may have minor clerical differences, they all very similar in nature asking the judge to look at categories pertaining to Exhibition and render a score for each.
Disclaimer
Before we dive in, it’s important to recognize that there is NO WRITTEN GUIDANCE about how to use these sheets. The methodology we’re about to describe is the best way we’ve found after over a decade of teaching, training, AND judging to help the team on the other end of the sheet.
General Scoresheet Overview
All these styles of scoresheets are pretty similar in format so we’ll just look at one example:
- Your Name – VERY important for breaking ties & tracking sheets!
- School Name/Team Name – VERY Important for knowing which team this belongs to!
- Commander Initials – As per JUDGING FLOW, collect these at initial brief!
- Number of Cadets – Count the number of cadets TO INCLUDE COMMANDER as you check the team in!
- Scoring Items – These are the areas to score throughout and after the performance!
- Penalties – Put the NUMBER OF INSTANCES, not the POINT values (i.e. if they had ONE incorrect command, list “1” and NOT “-5”)!
- Notes – A…space (?!) for notes you may have!
NOTE: You will NOT total anything on your scoresheet! That’s why the areas for point totals are crossed out!
Scoring Categories Overview
You should use these descriptions to the best understand what to grade. You can refer to THIS SCORESHEET to find like-overlap (i.e. “Demand” and “Routine DIFFICULTY (Aerial)”) and help you better understand what factors you might consider.
If you’re unsure how you would approach a category, you can always CONTACT US or ask your host for further clarification!
