After examining the judging procedures relating to Chinese martial arts demonstrations it has become clear that using the score of the first person as a standard for judging the other participants produces an obvious upward trend in scoring, meaning that the later a person performs the better his or her score is likely to be, and therefore this cannot be considered an acceptable method of scoring. Furthermore, there is no standard for scoring for the larger part of the events; and for some, even if there are standards they are ignored in practice and the afore-said method of scoring is used. As to why there should be an upward trend in scoring, perhaps the judges feel reluctant to give out very high scores at first for fear that a truly exceptional participant will appear later. Therefore, one's order of appearance has a profound effect on one's score, and there is no proper discrimination in scoring. Regarding the reliability of scoring, there is also a problem with large discrepancies in scoring between preliminary and final rounds. The following standardized set of procedures should be adopted: Practitioners of one form should compete in one event, Events without set standards for scoring should be established and judged by persons specializing in that event. Ttraining and checking of judges should be implemented. The number of persons advancing to the finals should be determined by the number of people in the preliminaries. Scoring should be conducted independently and individually. And, most of all, the order of appearance of participants should be decided fairly and impartially. If these things are not done it will probably be impossible to establish this as a competition.
