Scruitineer For Highland Dancing
The point system and positioning is base on the Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing 2017 point system.
- Judges can enter their own scores, with or without comments
- Scrutineers can enter judges scores, with or without comments
- Edit scores and/or comments
- Track who entered the last data set
- Design for 1, 2 or 3 Judge competition
More detail information may be found at the Highland Dance Scrutineer subsite.
Scrutineer Test
Scrutineering was tested using point system developed by the SOBHD.
- 1st place 137 points
- 2nd place 91 points
- 3rd place 71 points
- 4th place 53 points
- 5th place 37 points
- 6th place 23 points
Dataset Used for Testing
For testing purposes we used two differnet datasets that published in 2017.
Dataset 1, used in the first set of examples have the correct numbers, the proper calculations and the correct results.
Dataset 2 used in examples 2 however, do not produce the correct calculations and outcomes.
This is a good thing. During out testing of this dataset, we discovered mathematical errors. The only reasons for pointing this out and using this dataset is to help those who may being using the same dataset and are not aware of the mathematical errors and thus being confused by not getting the same results as the 2017 SOBHD booklet would show. We notified some members of this issue.
The errors in the examples 2 were introduced in with the Strathspey and Reel Dataset 2. We have noted the original numbers, calculation, results and then have highlight the changes to produce the dis outcome.
The only change we made to the SOBHD was the Dancer competition number (Comp No.). We added the prefix 13x in front so people using these number do not get Dancer's competition number mixed with their score numbers.

- Sword Dance Judges' Placing - Dataset 2
- Seann Truibhas Judges' Placing - Dataset 2
- SOBDH Strathspey and Reel Judges' Placing - Dataset 2
The results below are wh was published by the SOBHD in 2017. Below all the SOBHD pages you will find the corrections required to produce the results SOBHD was trying to accomplish.

Step 3 Championship Results
Dataset 2
SOBHD results of the Championship is therefore:
- No. 132-136 - 1st
- No. 130-134 - 2nd equal
- No. 131-135 - 2nd equal
- No. 133-137 - 4th
- No. 134-138 - 5th
- No. 135-139 - 6th
Method 1 (Determined from the SOBHD Aggregate Sheet)
Comp No. | Number of 1st Placings |
130-134 | 1 |
131-135 | 1 |
Method 2 (Determined from the Scrutineering Sheet - Dance Points)
Comp No. | Fling | Sword | Seann Truibhas | Strathspey and Reel | Totals |
130-134 | 411 | 273 | 215 | 137 | 1036 |
131-135 | 273 | 411 | 215 | 137 | 1036 |
Method 3 (Determined from the Scrutineering Sheet Individual Judges' Placings)
Comp No. | Fling | Sword | Seann Truibhas | Strathspey and Reel | Totals |
130-134 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 12 |
131-135 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 10 |
Step 3 - Final Championship Results with the tie broken. The result of the Championship is therefore:
- No. 132-136 - 1st
- No. 130-134 - 2nd
- No. 131-135 - 3rd
- No. 133-137 - 4th
- No. 134-138 - 5th
- No. 135-139 - 6th
Without the correction, the original results would be unattainable.

The number in blue were used to provide the proper results of aggregate sheet.
These results were calculated using the Cetlic-arts.org program. These result were then verified by mathematicians.
The original SOBHD numbers given produced erroneous results. As such, we modified some numbers to produce the SOBNH resulting outcome. These numbers are in blue.

Step 3 Celtic-Arts Championship Results
Dataset 2
The results of the Championship is therefore:
Comp No. | Total Dance Point | Place |
131-135 | 436 | 1 |
132-136 | 398 | 2 |
130-134 | 344 | 3 |

134-138 | 150 | 5 |
135-139 | 136 | 6 |
136-140 | 23 | 7 |
137-141 | 23 | 7 |
Note: Anything below 6th place is not counted. Since there are no ties, we can stop here.
How the Application Handles Ties
Below we demonstrate the different methods used for handling ties.
Celtic-Arts Aggregate Sheet - Method 1 Sum of 1st Place Dances
Comp No. | Sum of 1st Place Positions per Dancer | Place |
131-135 | 2 | 1 |
132-136 | 2 | 1 |
130-134 | 0 | 3 |
133-137 | 0 | 3 |
134-138 | 0 | 3 |
135-139 | 0 | 3 |
136-140 | 0 | 3 |
137-141 | 0 | 3 |
Note: There is no 2nd place because both 131-135 and 132-136 have the same number of 1st place positions.
Note: In reality, with three (3) judges, the sum of all dance points per dancer should not exceed 300. The maximum marks are 100 per judge per dance.
These numbers exceed the limit of 300 because we used the actual points from position place as judge's mark. I.e. 137 points from 1st place verse a judge's mark of 100.
Celtic-Arts Aggregate Sheet - Method 3 Sum of Dancer's Placements
Comp No. | Sum of Dancer's Placements | Place |
132-136 | 12 | 1 |
133-137 | 12 | 1 |
134-138 | 12 | 1 |
130-134 | 11 | 4 |
131-135 | 11 | 4 |
135-139 | 10 | 6 |
136-140 | 3 | 7 |
137-141 | 2 | 8 |
Note: There is no 2nd or 3rd place. This is because there is a 3 way tie of 12 placements and a 2 way tie for 11 placements.
Celtic-Arts Final Results
Comp No. | Place |
131-135 | 1 |
132-136 | 2 |
130-134 | 3 |
133-137 | 4 |
134-138 | 5 |
135-139 | 6 |
136-140 | 7 |
137-141 | 8 |
Note: After going through the three (3) methods used to break any ties, we end up with the same results as of above.
