Judging
There are a panel of qualified judges at every competitive competition. Obviously, the judges decide who wins and who loses. But they also in competitive cheer leading give you comments and scores that tally up to how much you lost by or how much you won by. There are normally three to five judges for each category that takes place in the 3 minute routine. For example, there are four judges for all stunts and five judges for all tumbling. Those judges would only pay attention to their specific category and judge accordingly. The judges are to be fair and their scores are backed up by the second panel of judges who are normally some of the main people who run the competition itself.
