Scores are summed judge placings — lower is better, Total = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4. ▲ scored better in finals, ▼ slipped. Columns are this card's own rounds, as printed. A dash is a round that competitor did not contest — only the finalists reach the last one, so totals here cover different numbers of rounds and are not comparable across that line. Rows are ordered by the placing the card awarded, not by total.
