SCORING SYSTEM: Technical categories 300 points 50 points categories breakdown - A guideline to understand how we ll score you 0-10 somebody that isn t ready to perform on stage 10-20 not terrible, but still a bit of work to do 20-30 average. Good flair but nothing mesmerizing 30-40 serious contender 40-50 best in the world This doesn t mean that the big names will always score high in every category. We only judge the performance on that day. Originality 50 points Are you introducing something new or have we seen this stuff before? This is the category where signature moves will make you score high. It s not all about the moves tho. We are also looking at styles, and new ways to present your routine. Difficulty 50 points More objects doesn t mean more difficulty. Some bottle tin moves are more difficult than the basic 5 objects move. Think also about the complexity of what you re showcasing. Variety 50 points This is not variety of objects, it s variety of moves. A lot of moves look exactly the same even tho bartenders are using different combinations of objects. The usual split split juggle juggle nest is boring to watch and won t score you high in this category. Technical execution 50 points How smooth are you? How polished is your routine? Are you nailing your moves with confidence or are you playing it safe? Drops and fumbles will affect your final score in this one. Showmanship 50 points Are you having fun on stage or are you too focused on your moves? Remember that the crowd doesn t necessarily understand the technicality of your routine. Make sure you interact with them. This is the easiest category to score if you play it smart.
Choreography 50 points This category could potentially be judged by someone that has never seen flair before. How well is your routine on your music? How well is it put together? Does it look good? Think about the most beautiful choreographed acts in other disciplines. Can your flair show keep up with them? Drops -3 DEDUCTIONS Every drop counts. Two objects stuck together will count as one. Spills -1 Every spill counts, even the tiny ones Break -10 Every break counts. Miscellaneous -5 Missing ingredients, wrong procedures, wrong ingredients, under pours, over pours, unhygienic procedure and every other mistake regarding the drinks will penalize you. Easy points to lose, play it smart. Missing or unservable drinks -40 The most important thing in a flair bartending show, is to have your drinks made by the end. It s better to finish your drink than to try a last move when you re running out of time.
