clicks are what we call normalized in the math world after all the performances are done, so the raw clicker values aren’t easy to obtain without asking judges

for example if we take three yoyoers, A, B and C, and just one judge

yoyoer A clicks +100 -10, so 90 total  
yoyoer B clicks +80 -5, so 75 total  
yoyoer C clicks +30 -20, so 10 total

now, obviously there’s only 60 points available for technical execution, so we normalize them:

`clicker_score * 60 / highest_clicked_score`

If we apply this to all the yoyoers:

yoyoer A is `90 * 60 / 90` = `60 points`  
yoyoer B is `75 * 60 / 90` = `50 points`  
yoyoer C is `10 * 60 / 90` = `6.66 points`

If we had multiple judges, then you would average all the judges values at the end, so say you also clicked yoyoers A B and C and got:

A: +90 -8 (82 total)  
B: +95 -4 (91 total)  
C: +20 -10 (10 total)

your normalized score values would be:  
A = `82 * 60 / 91` = 54.07  
B = `91 * 60 / 91` = 60  
C = `10 * 60 / 91` = 6.59

then we would average together to get final scores for A, B and C:  
`final_score = (judge1score + judge2score) / 2`

so:  
A = `(60 + 54.07) / 2` = 57.07  
B = `(50 + 60) / 2` = 55.0  
C = `(6.66 + 6.59) / 2` = 6.63
