1. The first number is on a scale of 0-10 and represents if the rules were followed. For every rule broken, you get -2 points from 10.
2. The second number is +3 if your entry was a head/bust shot, +5 if your entry was a partial body, +10 if your entry was a full body
3. The third number is +3 for partial rider shown, or +5 for full rider shown
4. The fourth number is +0-10 for correct background/setting/weather/details. So did you follow the weather and setting guidelines, does your image match the show ground layout, etc. Background shading quality also falls into this category. This aspect of the judging is not just judged by me, but 2-3 other people as well, and is based off of your own skill from your own gallery.
5. The fifth number is +5 if you shaded every horse in your image and it is noticeable. You either get the 5 points, or not. I am sorry but this is an effort show.. if I can barely see the shading, then you are not getting the points for it.
6. The sixth number is 0-5 points based on if you wrote a story. You get +1 point for every 100 words you wrote on your main entry to go towards your score.
7. The seventh number is towards extra horses in your image. Max 10 points for this category.
8. The eighth number is for extra images.
9. The ninth number is for the horses previous experience, with the max points depending on the race (see main journal for a max on a specific race).
10. The 10th number is +5 if you advertised.
11. The 11th number is +5 if you donated a prize.
12. The 12th number is +2-6 if horse is registered Quality Blood, Finest Blood, World Class Blood, Legendary Blood, or Thoroughbred God (must be on the list before the day the race ends). This was not added until the Arlington Million race, and will stay for every race thereafter. For the 2015 Haskell Invitational and Pacific Classic, the 12th number represents the RNG aspect (now stands as the 13th number for future races).
13. The 13th number is your RNG score on a scale of 1-15. For the 2015 Haskell Invitational and Pacific Classic, the 13th number represents the total (now stands as the 14th number for future races).
14. The final number is your overall score, which determines what place your horse received. If there is a +1-3 at the end with a new total, that race had qualifier race(s) and the horse with the +1-3 placed 1st-3rd in said race, giving them a new total.
If anyone would ever like me to go over their scores with them, then feel free to comment or note me privately. Prizes can be seen on the original show journals. If you ever notice that my math is wrong, speak up! Leave a comment or send me a note so I can fix it!
I decided instead of doing a RNG roll for how many lengths the winning horse won by, that everyone should see how many lengths they beat the other by. I am converting lengths to points earned in their score. So if you won by 2 points, your horse won by 2 lengths.
At the bottom of each results list is a summary of the race. I try to take everyone's stories and entries into account for how the race runs (who starts well or not well, who makes moves when, etc), and of course, the results are also laid out in the paragraph.

Show Overview: WBS Questioning Faith got a good start and led the pack until the round of the first turn, where she threw a fit and fell behind, unable to regain her position for the remainder of the race and finished last. FT Triton led the pack for the majority of the race, all of the horses tightly packed in a group until WPF The Apocalypse made her move. This followed a chain reaction of horses battling it out in the final stretch, the main show focused on TLEC Such A Classic, WBS Ghost Hour and BTs - Blackbeard Got Some Ink barreling away from the rest of the pack, completely isolating themselves from the rest by a landslide. But TLEC Such A Classic stole the prize today by half a length!
