Weve organised the circlework and other driving events at Deni for the last 3 years and have held loads of circlework comps b4, when your being judged its out of 10 for each:
Drifting
Figure 8's
Circles
Driver Control
Use of Arena
Crowd Appeal
Its won or lost with the Crowd appeal mostly as no crowd appeal results in 1's and 2's but if you get em screaming you can easily score 9's and 10's the rest are pretty level through most comps, one driving skill not seen often enough is drifting... its rare to see a ute get one or two full laps in and the crowds love to see it. At Deni only 3 or 4 utes out of 25 managed to pull off full laps... Crowd appeal can be won by anyone, be flashy, be a showpony, they love noise, smoke, lights, flags etc. But driving wise, drifting, 8's, circle/donuts, control and using all of the arena is what the judges look for.
Kope that helps mate.
