3.3 The score will be standardized per the following method: The final score S* of a submission in the Qualifier Round is obtained by: S* = ( S - S(average) ) / SD, in which S is the Original Score, S(average) is the average of all Original Scores that a judge has given throughout the round and SD is the standard deviation of all Original Scores that a judge has given throughout the round.
