Step 1
What type of judging criteria are they using?
Answer
The judging criteria used by the panel of surfing judges are best described as subjective and prescribed.
Explanation:
- Subjective: The scores are based on the judges' personal opinions about various aspects of the performances such as variety of manoeuvres and wave selection. This introduces personal bias and differs from objective measures that rely solely on quantifiable data.
- Prescribed: The criteria for scoring (like the scale of scoring out of ten) suggest pre-defined standards that judges follow, indicating a level of prescribed assessment rather than completely open-ended criteria.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) Subjective and prescribed.
