* Quartet qualified for International Competition by either
attaining the minimum score (2736/1824 points, or 76.0%), or by
having the highest score in their home District contest, with an
average score of at least 70%. (NOTE: The "highest" quartet score
in the home District contest is recognized regardless of any other
District quartets competing out-of-District in other District
contests.)
# Quartet qualified for International but withdrawn.
@ Quartet who might fill a wild card slot for International
(unofficial; the official list will be determined by the SCJC.
The maximum number of quartets in the contest is 45 plus some
number of affiliates (invited by Society Executive Director).
For this ranking, the number of projected wild card slots is just
the maximum number (45) minus the projected number of qualified
quartets.)
+ Quartet that qualified according to Article V.7(4) as an out-of
District quartet, competing for minimum qualifying score (76%).
& Quartet that competed out-of-District but did not attain the minimum
target score (76% average) required. The highest scoring quartet
competing in its home District contest qualifies as the official
representative.
$ Quartet that did not compete in an Int'l Prelims contest, but in,
for example, a Division-level only contest, and are not eligible for
International, even if they have a qualifying score.
^ Quartet competing in an Affiliate contest. Refer to official Society
announcements for affiliate quartets invited to compete in the BHS
International contests.
========================================================================
NOTE: For qualifying quartets and for quartets that might be considered
for wild card slots, ties that occur between a 2-judge panel score and
a 3-judge panel score (where the percent average is calculated to a "tie"
rounded to the nearest 0.1%) are broken by calculating the average score
to the nearest 0.001%, by multiplying the 2-judge panel score by 1.5 and
then dividing by 36.
For example:
2-Judge 3-Judge
Per Cat Per Cat NORM.
QUARTET NAME DIS TOTAL TOTAL PCT.
--------------------- --- ----- ----- -----
Throwback *SUN 3143 87.306%
A Mighty Wind *DIX 2094 87.250%
Throwback's 3143 divided by 36 = 87.3055%, and is rounded to 87.306%.
A Mighty Wind's 2094 * 1.5 = 3141 for the equivalent 3-judge panel
score.
Divide 3141 by 36 = 87.2500% and round to the nearest 0.001: 87.250%.
Thus the virtual tie between these quartets is broken for this ranking.
