# Score entry mode examples

> Worked examples for each of the four score entry mode combinations. See [Understand score entry modes](/judges-companion/index/score-entry-modes.md) for an overview.

## Combination 1: Final Score + Start Value

The simplest mode. You enter two numbers.

| Field                | Value |
| -------------------- | ----- |
| Start Value          | 5.4   |
| Execution Score (E1) | 8.5   |

**Result:** Final Score = 8.5 + 5.4 = **13.9**

## Combination 2: Final Score + Difficulty

Execution is entered directly. Difficulty and bonuses are separate fields.

| Field                | Value |
| -------------------- | ----- |
| Difficulty           | 4.9   |
| Start Value Bonus    | 0.5   |
| Execution Score (E1) | 8.5   |

**Result:** Start Value = 4.9 + 0.5 = 5.4. Final Score = 8.5 + 4.9 + 0.5 = **13.9**

## Combination 3: FIG Deductions + Start Value

Execution is entered as deductions from 10.0. Difficulty is a single start value.

| Field        | Value |
| ------------ | ----- |
| Start Value  | 5.4   |
| E1 Deduction | 1.5   |

**Result:** Execution = 10.0 - 1.5 = 8.5. Final Score = 8.5 + 5.4 = **13.9**

## Combination 4: FIG Deductions + Difficulty

The most detailed mode - used in FIG competitions. Individual deductions and separate difficulty components.

| Field              | Value |
| ------------------ | ----- |
| Difficulty         | 4.9   |
| Start Value Bonus  | 0.5   |
| E1 Deduction       | 0.3   |
| E2 Deduction       | 0.5   |
| E3 Deduction       | 0.4   |
| Neutral Deductions | 0.1   |

**Result:** Execution = 10.0 - 0.4 (middle deduction after trimming) = 9.6. Final Score = 9.6 + 4.9 + 0.5 - 0.1 = **14.9**

> **Note:** When multiple E judges enter deductions, the system applies a trimmed mean - it removes the highest and lowest and averages the rest.
