Maybe we should expect slightly less points being awarded to all finalists in the Hong Kong GrandSlam. Why? Cambrils was the Latin premiere for the Judging System 2.0, a system that has 12 adjudicators award from 1 to 10 points for the four Programme Components (Technical Quality, Movement to Music, Partnering Skills, Choreography and Presentation).

Adjudicators' Briefing Hong Kong As it goes with most scales that get introduced, they need to get calibrated. Surely, the adjudicators in Hong Kong are aware that by continuing to award too many 10s – or very high grades in general – they will eventually run out of margin for what should ultimately be elusive: absolute perfection.
