To make it more fair and consistent to the talents going into the top 3 for the Rajyotsava day, the KGT committee has looked into the preliminary round assessment and decided to adopt final scoring with 50% weightage to social media popularity votes and 50% from the average score of two independent judges from our supporting organisation Chirantana academy.

Here is how the preliminary round ranking works:

Total number of likes will be taken on 28th October at 9PM
Based on the Social Media Votes, we rank the performers for each category. For example, if there are 7 contestants in the category, we rank them from 1 to 7 based on the number of overall Likes on the post (Include Blue thumbs ups, Love and Care as on 28th October 9PM)
1000 votes are allocated to the performers for the popularity. The popularity rank is turned into Popularity Weighted Score. Taking the example above, 1st ranked will get 7/7 portion of 1000 and 2nd ranked one will get 6/7th of the portion and so on…
Two independent judges will rate separately providing a score out of 1000 (This is captured online through an automated form)
Average votes from two of the judges will be added to the total vote tally
Popularity vote and averaged vote from the judges will be added up to make the total vote for the performer under each category.
Top 3 with the highest vote will be selected for the final Rajyotsava Day performance in front of the judges
The Popularity Weighted Score and average judges score will be made available on or before 5PM on 29th October.
