How the Judges Score the Bands

The USSBA scoring system is based on 40.0 points per judge. With 5 judges having 40.0 points available, the total score is out of a possible 200.00.

How do they get back to 100? They simply divide the total score by 2. (USSBA score sheets have an additional box for the Color Guard and Percussion score. These scores are based on 20.0 points and are not included in the band’s total score; they are for the determination of the special awards only.)

SPECIAL AWARDS

In addition to placement awards, Special Awards may be awarded at regular season contests as well as Championships. At Silver Star USSBA Shows, these awards will be judged by the five-person panel. At Gold Star USSBA Shows, additional judges will adjudicate these awards.

The following special awards may be given:

Best Marching, Music and Overall Effect: Awarded to the band with the highest average score in those respective captions. The Visual Performance caption relates to Best Marching.

Best Color Guard: Awarded to the band with the highest combined score awarded by the Overall Effect (Visual) Judge and the Ensemble Visual Performance Judge.

Best Percussion: Awarded to the band with the highest combined score awarded by the Overall Effect (Music) Judge and the Ensemble or Individual Music Performance Judge.

Best Band: Awarded to the band with the highest total score in the show.
