Showing a Dimension That Does Not Affect the Score
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints
A fictional host wants to record a display note while making clear that it does not influence the competitive result.

Planning process
The organizer enters a zero weight for the third dimension and explicitly records zero marks there. The first two criteria determine the result: Alex receives 7.6 and Blair 7.4. The host explains the zero-weight field before judging.
Result explanation
A zero weight contributes nothing mathematically, but the tool still expects a complete sheet. The field should not become a hidden tie-break after the result. If it is only a written note, project notes may be a clearer place for it.
Alternative
Remove the zero-weight criterion and keep display observations outside the numeric rubric.
Execution notes
Do not suggest that an unscored display preference changes rank. Check that all judges use the published weights.
