Only scores tied to a matching judge assignment are included; penalties are excluded. Each row compares one caption and score type, using score points. Select a caption and flight to narrow the comparison.

Difference vs other judges: for each score, compare with other judges' scores for the same school, score type, year, flight, and competitive/exhibition status at other competitions. Negative means lower than that comparison average. Matched count shows how many scores have a comparison. These describe the recorded performances; improvement over the season and different competition conditions also affect scores.
