How Judging Process Works?

Each submission is assigned a unique submission reference number. Brands are to be assigned a score for quality and value on a blind-tasting basis. Following this, the package will be brought to the judges for the packaging score.

Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = Global Drinks Guides Ratings Score.

A separate weighted score will be given for each of the three parts of the judging process. Quality gets twice the weight. The scores will be calculated with other judges for the same product on the team to give a final score.

• Quality Score: will be marked out of 100
• Value Score: will be marked out of 100
• Package Score: will be marked out of 100

The final out of 100 score will be displayed with each product along with star ratings which will be calculated as per below definition.

• 5 star - 95 and above points
• 4 star - 80 to 94 points
• 3 star - 60 to 79 points
• 2 star - below 60 points

Definitions:
