Judges are Canadian Improv Games volunteer, often accredited with theatre and improv experience. They are responsible for watching and rating each scene in a given night. Each judge can judge a scene out of a possible 50 points. A technically perfect scene will achieve maximum 44 points, as the judges are allotted up to 6 bonus points for outstanding work. Judges look for both technical and entertainment based factors. A fixed rubric outlines specific requirements of a scene. Such factors include the acceptance of offers, level of risk, use of staging, skill of the event, level of interest, and use of suggestion. Most scenes incorporate the "five elements" which include, location, relationship and characters, conflict, raising of the stakes, and a resolution.
