    Planning process

    The organizer checks the disputed cell against the judge’s paper sheet and asks the judge to confirm it. The corrected mark is entered, rankings are recalculated and the final view is reviewed before saving or printing. The earlier number is retained in a host note if a correction trail is needed.

    Result explanation

    Recalculation should follow the confirmed input, not a preferred outcome. A saved project preserves the current score matrix, so the host can reproduce the final arithmetic rather than rely on a screenshot alone.

    Alternative

    Delay the affected award if the judge cannot confirm the value. Offer general thanks while verification continues.

    Execution notes

    Do not silently change weights, criteria or tie rules during correction. Keep fictional example records separate from any real event data.
