The "Dusted or Busted" Scoring Method also known as the "DOB" Scoring Method is a scoring system used to measure the performance or success of contestants on Daniel's Song Race. It is based on the same-titled scoring system of RuPaul's Drag Race. This method can be used to prove if a contestant performed better than another regardless of their placing in the competition, although it is more accurate with contestants that competed for a while.
Scoring Method[]
The scoring method is used to score the outcome of each contestant during each episode of Daniel's Song Race. 2 points are awarded to queens who WIN the main challenge. 1 point is awarded to queens who do well but did not win (HIGH). 0 points are given to queens who are labeled "SAFE" by the judges. -1 points are given to queens who did poorly but did not place in the Bottom 2 (LOW), while -2 points are given to queens who place in the bottom 2 (BTM2) or are eliminated after lipsyncing in the bottom 2 (ELIM). This method can be used to prove that a contestant eliminated earlier in the competition may have actually done better than a contestant who was kept in the competition longer.

Notes[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 This method is ideal to compare contestants that competed on different seasons.
It is calculated by adding the scores together and dividing by the number of episodes a contestant competed in, but to do so, the scoring method needs to be changed into all positive numbers, now becoming this:
WIN: +10
HIGH: +7.5
SAFE: +5
LOW: +2.5
BTM2/ELIM: 0
Keep in mind, it is statistically impossible to compare a contestant that got eliminated extremely early, such as first-out or second-out.
In the case of a final challenge with a top 3 the scoring looks like this:
WIN: +10
RUN-UP: +7.5
THIRD: +5
