  Partners should not "outsing,” "outdance,” or "outplay" each other, or else marks will be reduced
• Other participants or members of the same team should not disturb the flow of the performance Remember that a single mistake can break the coordination, which may lead to negative marking for the whole group.
• Performances will be judged not only by experts on international standards, high-profile celebrities and dignitaries, but also by your friends, family, mentors, and critics. Herein lies the importance of HD quality and zero manipulation in the video.

2. Solo singing

• Vocal ability is all about focus on the melody, rhythm, key-notes and the ability to hold high and low notes, which will be affected by the smooth start and end of a song
• Clarity of words and emotions while performing and the way of the presentation will serve as a major rating point.
• The singing performance rating will be affected by body movements, confidence, focus, audience interaction, and entertainment score of the participants.
