Since this show utilized two Visual Effect and two Music Effect judges, each judge's score in each of the two captions was added together and then divided by two. Then the average score of Visual and Music Effect was added to the final score without being divided in two, as is done with each of the remaining six captions.
The six remaining judges in the three Visual captions (Performance, Ensemble and Color Guard) and the three Music captions (Brass, Ensemble and Percussion) have their scores divided in half before being added to the final score. This is so they can work with 20 points each and not 10, which allows them to deal with tenths and not hundredths. (The two decimal places result when the scores are divided in half.)
