Live Competitions Are Broken
Scoring is unclear and inconsistent
Judges use different scales, audiences don't see the breakdown, and nobody knows how winners are actually chosen
Announcers or judges override visible votes
Even when votes are shown, final decisions don't match what everyone saw—breaking trust with the community
Crowds want to participate but can't
Audiences are passionate and engaged, but have no way to be part of the action beyond cheering
Competitors walk away frustrated, not celebrated
No feedback, no transparency, no understanding of what judges valued—just confusion and disappointment
Case Study: Red Bull Dance Your Style Finals
At the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals, the lack of a transparent scoring system left the audience confused and frustrated.
Without real-time visibility into the voting process, it appeared that judges or organizers could override results.
The audience had no way to participate or understand how winners were chosen, breaking the trust between the event and its community.
