5. 6 Jury members from different countries, will watch your performance online and evaluate it by 2 criteria’s:

TIME. You need to count to 5 in your own language (Five, four, three, two, one, go!) and start the hookah preparation, our Jury chairman start the timer. You finish your preparation when you blow the first smoke from your prepared hookah

PERFORMANCE. At the end of the event, each judge chooses his own three leaders from all participants – first, second, and third place. At the same time, he does not focus on hookah cooking time but pays attention to skill, artistry, and the result of work.

Hookah preparation time is estimated separately and automatically ranks all participants from the fastest to the slowest. Time has a weight equal to the weight of all the votes of the judges taken together. Thus, we get a balance between time ranking and other characteristics that the judges take into account. The final result will be completely impartial, as it is the result of a Schulze system calculation.
