“…The judging of the technical parts of performance was shown to be more reliable than the artistic parts, which could be a result of more detailed criteria for the technical parts. Lockwood et al (2005) also found that judging the technical part was more reliable than judging the artistic part in ice-skating. Similarly, Pajek et al (2014) noted that judging the artistry component in gymnastic showed poor reliability among judges.…”

“…Several aspects of judging performance in aesthetic sports have been described (Popović, 2000; Plessner and Schallies, 2005; Leskošek et al, 2010; Bučar Pajek et al, 2011). Studies have shown that changes in the judging system have usually resulted in higher objectivity of judging (Lockwood et al, 2005; Atiković et al, 2011; Leskošek et al, 2013). To date, there is a lack of studies for judging in dance, with consequent concern for the possibility of systematic bias and inconsistency of judging in DanceSport, which could influence competition results.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the new judging system in DanceSport. Methods Eighteen judges rated the 12 best placed adult dancing couples competing at an international competition. They marked each couple on all judging criteria on a 10 level scale. Absolute agreement and consistency of judging were calculated for all main judging criteria and sub-criteria. Results A mean correlation of overall judging marks was 0.48. Kendall’s coefficient of concordance for overall marks ( W = 0.58) suggesting relatively low agreement among judges. Slightly lower coefficients were found for the artistic part [Partnering skills ( W = 0.45) and Choreography and performance ( W = 0.49)] compared to the technical part [Technical qualities ( W = 0.56) and Movement to music ( W = 0.54)]. ICC for overall criteria was low for absolute agreement [ICC(2,3) = 0.62] but higher for consistency [ICC(3,3) = 0.80]. Conclusion The relatively large differences between judges’ marks suggest that judges either disagreed to some extent on the quality of the dancing or used the judging scale in different ways. The biggest concern was standard error of measurement (SEM) which was often larger than the difference between dancers scores suggesting that this judging system lacks validity. This was the first research to assess judging in DanceSport and offers suggestions to potentially improve both its objectivity and validity in the future.

“…In figure skating, the “Technical Element Score” and the “Program Component Score” are used to evaluate a performance [ 3 ]. Judging scores have been reported to have high reliability for these artistic sporting competitions [ 4 , 6 , 22 ]. In hip-hop dance, the evaluation could be divided into technical and expression criteria.…”

Judges’ evaluation reliability changes between identifiable and anonymous performance of hip-hop dance movements

Hip-hop competitions are performed across the world. In the recent inclusion in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, the assessment of hip-hop performance is undertaken by a panel of judges. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of different visualisation tools utilised in the assessment of the hip-hop dance movements. Ten dancers performed basic rhythmic hip-hop movements which were captured using a motion capture system and video camera. Humanoid and stick figure animations of the dancers’ movements were created from the motion capture data. Ten judges then assessed 20 dance trials through observation using three different visualisation tools on a computer display, each of which provided different representations of a given hip-hop performance: (1) the actual video of the dancers; (2) an anonymous stick figure animation; (3) an anonymous humanoid animation. Judges were not informed that they were repeating an assessment of the performances across the three visualisation tools. The humanoid animation demonstrated the highest inter-class correlation coefficients among the three methods. Despite the stick figure animation demonstrating moderate to high reliability, both the humanoid animation and the video demonstrated very high reliability in the intra-class correlation coefficient. It is recommended that further research is undertaken exploring the use of humanoid animation as a formative assessment tool in the evaluation of hip-hop dance and the evolution of hip-hop into a respected artistic athletic discipline.

“…Национальные предпочтения в эстетическом спорте давно привлекают внимание исследователей [1]. Именно эти национальные предпочтения судей вызвали изменения в системе судейства в фигурном катании [10], за которыми последовало введение новой «абсолютной» системы судейства и в танцевальных видах спорта [3]. Однако, по-видимому, национальные предпочтения судей играют важную роль и в настоящее время.…”

“…В эстетических видах спорта имеется много аспектов, влияющих на объективность судейства [7][8][9]. Многочисленные исследования показали, что изменения в системе судейства в эстетических видах спорта в сторону абсолютизации оценок обычно приводят к более высокой объективности судейства [10][11][12]…”
