Mark Schemes

The PDSM Competition’s mark schemes are composed of the CORE mark scheme and a [CATEGORY] mark scheme. Every category will be judged on the CORE mark scheme. The [CATEGORY] mark scheme will change according to each category. Therefore, there will be the following mark schemes: [SENSUAL], [SHOW], [STRIP TEASE], [SS TWERK]. All Upcoming Performer categories in the live final will mirror the original category’s mark scheme.

Each component in each mark scheme is scored out of 10, but may be weighted differently to reflect what is most important in Stripper Style generally or each category individually. 

Read this section to see the breakdown of the CORE & [CATEGORY] components.
