NATIONAL FAVORITISM OFJUDGING IN THE FINAL ROUNDS OF WORLD DANCESPORT FEDERATION COMPETITIONS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
It is believed that judging systems that evaluate the specific parameters of couples' performances are more objective. At the same time, the analysis of the national preferences of judges has not yet been carried out. To clarify this issue, the analysis of such national preferences of judges at these competitions was carried out using the AJS 3.0 system. The protocols of refereeing to the final rounds of the World Championship and GRAND SLAM WDSF competitions held in 2019 were studied. First of all, the marks given to different pairs were converted to so that they can be compared for each dance that was judged by two teams of judges, separately for the team judging TQ/PS and judging MM/CP, the highest score received by the pair was assigned with the rank of 1, and the lowest score was assigned with the rank of 6. The scores between these extreme marks were ranked the same way. Further, on the same sheets dedicated to each pair participating in the particular stage of the competition, the average marks given by the judge to the pairs were determined, and the analysis of the average places given to the pairs by the arbitrators was carried out. It has been established that the scores given to pairs by judges from the same countries as athletes differ from the average marks given to these couples by judges from other countries. The second important conclusion is that when using the AJS, the evaluation of couples from the same country as the arbiter depends on the number of such couples in the current round
