Score Normalization & Finalizing Results

When your jury panel completes their reviews, Crafted Call provides tools to normalize scores and finalize results. This guide explains how to manage juror scoring patterns, aggregate results, and prepare your exhibition.

Why Normalize Scores?

Jurors naturally score differently. One juror might rate submissions between 7-10, while another uses the full 1-10 scale. Score normalization adjusts for these patterns, ensuring all jurors' input carries equal weight regardless of their personal scoring tendency.

Without normalization: A generous juror's 8 and a strict juror's 8 count equally, even though they mean different things.

With normalization: Scores are adjusted so each juror's average sits at the scale's midpoint, making their relative rankings more comparable.

Tip: Enable normalization if your jury panel has 3+ members. For smaller panels or if you prefer raw scores, you can disable it.

Toggling Score Normalization

To enable or disable score normalization:

1. Navigate to Jury Settings for your call or exhibition
2. Find the Score Aggregation section
3. Toggle Normalize Scores on or off
4. Click Save Changes

Score normalization recalculates immediately. If you toggle it off after enabling, the interface reverts to raw scores for all submissions.

Viewing Aggregated Scores and Rankings

Once jury review is complete, view aggregated results:

1. Go to Results or Jury Dashboard for your call
2. Select the jury panel
3. You'll see:
   • Submission title and artist (if not blind review)
   • Average score (normalized or raw, depending on settings)
   • Individual juror scores (click to expand)
   • Ranking (sorted by average score, highest first)

Click any submission to see:

• Juror comments and notes
• Individual scores for each criterion (if using a rubric)
• Flagged submissions or notes from jurors

Tip: Export results as CSV to analyze further or share with your team in a spreadsheet.
