Meaning, more combinationsto reach a higher final score!! There are four required competitions that each contestant will compete in, each carrying a weightinto your final score calculation. This score will be used in all placements unless otherwise noted. If a contestant registers for our optional events, the scores from those events can bump one ofthese required competitions, with the exception of Formal Wear. Contestants must participate ineach of the four required areas of competition. East Coast USA uses a custom-build scoring systemthat takes our judges scores and computes your score, ranking and pageant placements.
