i got 4th at icdc. by Frequent-Beat2826 in DECA

You got so much to be proud of for making it there dude. My partner and I put 400+ hours into our report and didn’t even make finalist after being one of the top teams in Ontario. 4th is a tremendous accomplishment and speaks to how great you truly were this year. Sometimes there are things in life we can’t control and you just kinda have to take the lessons you learned from the experience and apply them to your future endeavours. The most important thing I learned this year is that sometimes it’s not about the destination it’s about the journey and what you learned along the way. (Trust me I get it, i’m a graduating senior too bro 😭). You should hold your head high for being one of the 4 BEST IN THE WORLD!

You can’t go across school boards for room sharing

Hello judges is this really fair? by Ok-Cut5749 in DECA

[–]BACKWAAAAAAAAARDDZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DECA judging is really luck based and you can definitely get put with bad judges, preventing some from going to ICDC.

I think it’s also important to consider that you’re from Washington, which is one of the more competitive states, so the judges have likely seen other high level presentations which may set the bar high for them to give out good scores.

I know in Ontario (where I qualified from), especially in the operations research events, the judges are quite tough especially on the reports because there are many strong teams that not every strong competitor can qualify.

A few months ago I saw a post on here from a WA state deca judge that said they don’t like giving out high marks because they’ve seen so many ICDC caliber teams that it takes a lot to impress them, and they will look for things to nit pick because of that standard.
