What should be the main focus during deliberations according to judging ethics?

  1. Personal opinions of judges

  2. The established judging rubric

  3. Team popularity among judges

  4. Board members' recommendations

The correct answer is: The established judging rubric

The main focus during deliberations should center on the established judging rubric. This rubric serves as a standardized framework that outlines the criteria and metrics by which participants are evaluated. It ensures that all judges apply the same set of guidelines and maintain consistency in their assessments. Adhering to the rubric helps uphold objectivity and fairness in the judging process, allowing for evaluations that are based on clear, defined standards rather than subjective interpretations. This emphasis on the rubric contrasts with personal opinions, team popularity, or board members' recommendations, which can introduce bias and inconsistency into the judging process, undermining the credibility and integrity of the competition.
