Trivium Value System
The judges are evaluating the competitors by comparing their skills.
Each judge analyzes the different performances by using the criteria of the
Trivium Value System to create an assessment.
The
Trivium Value System developed by
Niels "Storm" Robitzky and
Kevin "Renegade" Gopie in collaboration with and8.dance is based on cross-faders to value the participants performance. The judges can use one or all cross-faders to create the best possible representation of their interpretation of the observed skill. The judges must submit their votes after every round of the battle.
The
Trivium Value System has 6 cross-faders, each one represents a criteria. All criteria interlink with one another.
