Scoring Criteria

The expert judging panel consists of moderators, the Evangelist Committee, and the PingCAP Global Education Leader: @caiyfc, @xfworld, @代晓磊_Mars, @xuexiaogang, @数据小黑, @jiawei, @包老师呀, and @CuteRay. The scoring process is as follows:

  1. Calculate the total score after removing the lowest and highest scores, and determine the Top 10 articles based on the total score.
  2. The Top 10 articles will be re-scored (again removing the lowest and highest scores) to determine the final first, second, and third prizes.

Multiple articles by the same author will only be awarded the highest prize (one person can only receive one prize).

Scoring Dimensions:

Judges will score based on four dimensions, with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 1.

  1. Structural Completeness: Complete content structure, rich in text and images.
  2. Thematic Typicality: Depth of content, quality, and value for other TiDBers.
  3. Content: No technical errors, smooth language, clear logic, and fluent writing.
  4. Bonus Points: Referability, practicality, and innovation.

Best Popularity Award

The Best Popularity Award is based on the number of likes. The top 3 articles with the most likes will receive the Best Popularity Award, which can be awarded in conjunction with the first to third prizes.
