I personally would not like to see the points awarded published as I don’t think you would find out what you want to know from such a table. This is because after each judge has done their individual marking we then have a meeting at which our marks are only the start of the decision making process. At this stage the marks highlight where we differ. This then leads to a debate and a lot of ‘Yes – I take your point, I had not noticed that’ and so on.

When I started we used to produce a points allocation (the simple average of the individual judges) and put those to the Chief Judge. These days he is briefed with written reasons for a recommended order of merit which properly reflects our eventual consensus on the order.

Having been involved with both methods I feel today's approach is fairer to all competitors.
