Deduction of a point without connecting it to a criterion under which the point was deducted.

What adjudicator specifically wrote or did

Respectfully, a point was deducted either because students didn’t continue talking while transitioning or because they didn’t have a “Bang” at the end. If they had talked during their transitions, they could have easily been docked for doing so by a different judge. I don’t know what it means to end on a “Bang,” or how that relates to the criterion. Both of these critiques are highly subjective, and while I understand that you cannot remove all subjectivity for adjudicating, at state, it should be clear why points were deducted so students can learn and improve. I would like to note that I do appreciate Ms. Devlow’s time and willingness to adjudicate, Thank You.
