Disclaimer: Competitions with a higher standard error would indicate a high variance in rankings and scores may include individual submission bias.
MHP presents a homebrew competition ranking system, determined by the competitors. Minimum reuirements for inclusion in the ranking are that at least 5 surveys must be submitted, they must be from entrants not affiliated with the competiiton, and the results must have a standard error of less than 5.
Competitions will be assigned points out of a maximum possible 100 score. Competitions will be assessed as Best in class, Excellent (>P90), Great (>P70), Average (>P40), Below Average (>P20), Poor (<P20), and Worst in Class. This ranking system is based upon the assessment of the quality a competition offers to the entrants within the following 10 criteria.
Placement award quality
Judging quality
Additional prizes
Competition timeliness
Event competitiveness
Registration ease
Comprehensiveness of entries
Award ceremony quality and offering of a virtual ceremony

Each area of assessment is weighted based upon a paired comparison analysis of the 10 criteria performed by the board of the MHP. A full set of scoring criteria is described here.
