In the event an Entry in the Top 20 is deemed ineligible, all other Entries will move up in the rankings accordingly. The judges will evaluate the eligible Entries for Rounds One, Two, and Three on the basis of musical.ly likes, creativity, performance, and potential for on-air appeal (the “Criteria”), each of which shall be weighted equally. The Finals will be judged on the basis of crowd appreciation with the judges determining the Winner based on the loudest crowd applause for each Finalist (the “Finals Criteria”).
