The St. Kitts & Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKNNCC) acknowledges and addresses concerns raised regarding the scoring system used during the Carib Brewery Senior Calypso Monarch Semi-Finals, held as part of Sugar Mas 52.
An official complaint was filed by a calypso semi-finalist regarding the scoring methodology employed during this stage of the competition.
The complaint pertained to the scoring system, which should have been the high-low system, where the highest and lowest scores are excluded for each competitor.
Upon a thorough review of the scoring process by the appointed auditor, it has been confirmed that the total scores for each competitor were inadvertently applied instead of the high-low system, as prescribed by the Calypso Monarch Policy statement.
After careful examination and adherence to the high-low system as per competition guidelines, the SKNNCC is pleased to announce the revised scores for the Carib Brewery Senior Calypso Monarch SemiFinals as follows:
Issa Kamil – 520
King Hollywood – 472
Lady Diva – 459
King Socrates – 456
King Craig – 433
Invincible – 430
Queen Singing Jackie – 419
Alternate
Lady Composer – 416
The SKNNCC apologises for any confusion or inconvenience caused by this scoring discrepancy and appreciates the patience and understanding of all participants, fans, and stakeholders involved in Sugar Mas 52.
We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of fairness and integrity in our competitions.
