i think that ^ is the problem. I dont think judges know exactly what the criteria is. UIL is supposed to be more objective but since the judges interpret the rules in their own way.... we get stuff like this
Bell HS, Hurst 3 2 10 5 1
Duncanville HS, Duncanville 4 10 1 6 6
and out of the ten bands only 2 had more than two judges agree on the score (for three bands none of the judges agreed, BEll,copell and cp)
