During the event, 5 to 11 judges will rank the dance couples based on their skills, presentation, and showmanship. Scores from all the judges are combined to obtain the final standings. Adjudication is both an objective and subjective process and that is why several judges are used to ensure fairness. Depending on the number of entries, competitors may be required to compete in a series of elimination rounds (early rounds, quarters and semi-finals) until six to eight couples are recalled for the final round by the judges. During the final round, the placements, 1st through 6th, are determined.
