Judging Information

  • Judging for each contest is based on a Peer judging system. 
  • Each person entering one of the CT GI Joe Show contests will receive a vote ballot.
  • Judging will take place from 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM.  All ballots MUST be submitted by 1:15 PM the day of the show.
  • Each Contestant votes for the category(s) relivant to the Scale they entered (ex: 12" Custom Vehicle entrant votes for all three 12" categories).
  • Votes are done by a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place for each category.
  • Each place is assigned a numerical point score.  Scores are tabulated to determine the winner.
  • Votes are counted by the show promoter or a person designated to do so by the show promoter.
  • In the event of a tie, the number of votes per place will determine the tie breaker.  (3 votes for 1st place beats 2 votes for 1st place).
  • The results and decisions of the promoter are final.  We strive to do the best we can to ensure that the counts are accurate.  That includes double and triple checking the ballots.
