Scoring shall consist of two parts: the scoring of memorials and the scoring of the oral hearings.
Each memorial shall be assessed by two judges, at least one of whom is a current or former judge, lawyer, or law teacher, or otherwise experienced in the field of international law. The judges will be supplied with copies of the memorials with cover sheets showing only the teams’ individual moot numbers. The maximum score for each memorial shall be 100. The score for each memorial shall be the average of the scores out of 100 awarded by the two judges assessing their memorials.
The oral hearings shall be assessed by at least two judges in each oral hearing of the general rounds and by at least three judges in the oral hearings of semi-final and final rounds. At least one judge in each oral hearing of the general rounds and the semi-final round, and at least two judges in the oral hearing of the final round, shall be a current or former judge, lawyer, or law teacher, or otherwise experienced in the field of international law. In each general round, semi-final round and in the final round, the maximum score for each counsel shall be 200 and the maximum score for each team’s oral hearing shall be 400.
The decision of the judges shall be final.
Copies of individual judges’ scoresheets of oral hearing will be distributed to the respective participating teams immediately after the announcement of the results of the general rounds and semi-final round. Participating teams may appeal to the Secretary/Assistant Secretary(ies) through their team coach or first counsel (if in the absence of team coach) within 15 minutes if any arithmetic error is identified. The Secretary/Assistant Secretary(ies) shall check and rectify any errors. If such rectification affects the teams entering the semi-final round and the final round, the rectified results will be announced within 15 minutes after verification of the rectification.
Any appeal other than arithmetic error or exceeding 15 minutes after the announcement of the results shall not be handled.
For the arrangement of final round, the team coach or first counsel (if in the absence of team coach) of the two participating teams will be asked to verify if there is any arithmetic error in the calculation of final round scoring for their respective team before the announcement of the result.
