🔸 Overall Scoring
- Each phase is worth 100 points
- Total possible = 300 points
- Passing score per phase = 70 points minimum (for IGP1, IGP2, IGP3)
- Overall passing = 220/300 points minimum
🔸 Rating System
Judges give both points and ratings:
- 96–100 = Excellent (V)
- 90–95 = Very Good (SG)
- 80–89 = Good (G)
- 70–79 = Satisfactory (B)
- <70 = Insufficient (M/NG)
