Upon completion of comparison round the head judge could call on competitors to return to stage in order to ensure proper judging and placement. 
 
Awards Presentation Format:
Competitors will be called to stage one by one to preform the Box Walk, where they will stop at back center stage, strike 1-2 poses, take 4-5 paces to the center stage, hit 1-2 poses, and proceed to line up on stage right/left or off stage based on the direction of the expediter until each competitor has presented themselves. Expediter will then direct top 5 back on stage after all competitors complete their I-Walk for the Awards Presentation.
