Understand score entry modes

You choose how you enter scores in your own Judge Setup. There are two independent settings that create four possible combinations.

Setting 1: Execution Score Format

Mode	What You Enter	How It Works
Final Score	The final execution score directly	You enter the judge's execution mark (e.g., 8.5).
Deductions	Individual deductions from 10.0	You enter each deduction (e.g., 0.3, 0.5, 0.1). The app subtracts them from 10.0.

Setting 2: Difficulty Score Format

Mode	What You Enter	How It Works
Start Value	The total start value as one number	You enter the combined D score + any SV bonus (e.g., 5.4).
D Score	The difficulty value separately	You enter the raw difficulty (e.g., 4.9), and bonuses go in separate fields.

The Four Combinations

#	Execution Format	Difficulty Format	Typical Use
1	Final Score	Start Value	Simplest - two numbers only
2	Final Score	D Score	Execution as mark, difficulty split into components
3	Deductions	Start Value	Deductions from 10.0, single start value
4	Deductions	D Score	Most detailed - full FIG competition style

You set both of these yourself in Judge Setup (the "Score Entry Mode" and "Score Format" options) when you start judging, so pick whichever matches how your panel works. For a FIG multi-judge session, the panel follows the FIG standard so every judge enters scores the same way.

For worked examples of each combination, see Score entry mode examples.
