 In order to award a positive GOE, a judge needs to identify a certain number of "positive bullets" with almost no reductions.One positive bullet is needed for a GOE of +1, two bullets for a +2, three for a +3, four for a +4, and five or more for a GOE of +5.In the case of a negative GOE, a judge must be able to support their evaluation with reference to the published list of reductions.
