Judging Trends That Mattered​

• Symmetry and polish over sheer size: Tight midsections with clean transitions consistently scored best.
• Front-to-back consistency: Packages that maintained fullness and dryness across both rounds held their callout positions.
• Presentation as the tie-breaker: Stage walk, suit color, and confident posing decided close battles inside the top-6 clusters.
