Scoring criteria weights explained

When configuring scoring criteria, you need to assign a weight value. The weight adjusts the contribution of a scoring criterion to the total score by acting as a multiplier. Weighted scores are calculated as score × weight.

By assigning a higher or lower weight than the default of one, the criterion plays a larger or smaller part in reviewing.

Zero weight criteria

You can assign a weight of zero to collect quantifiable data from reviewers without impacting the overall score. Common uses include:

• Should an application receive prize money
• Out of 5 stars, how many would the reviewer give the application
• Does the application qualify for a "reviewer's choice" prize

For these cases, Recommendation reviewing may be the best choice.

Good to know

• Weighted scores are calculated as score × weight.
• The default weight value is one.
• A zero weight criterion carries no bearing on the overall score.
• When a zero weight is assigned, you will need to export data from the leaderboard to evaluate reviewing data for that criterion.
