The Tumbleweed / Calf Fry team has outsourced qualified judges to participate each week. The judges have criteria categories that make up the majority number of points. The winner from ticket sales and crowd decibels reading has additional points added in. Once totaled the band with the highest points awarded, is the winner for that round and will continue in the competition. We must state, this is NOT a popularity contest, it is a true music competition, so just know, tickets and crowd sound decibel readings are not a guaranteed win.
