RE: THE WC 2009 THREAD!!! its about time!!!
Well, it's my understanding that they take the raw scores first and run the TBL algorithm. Once that is done, each panel is considered one flight and they are normalized to the highest raw score. The low round is then discarded to determine who makes it to the semi-finals. Like I said, this is just my understanding of the process, and I could be wrong, but that's how I've been doing it (minus the TBL).
