According to the Gospel of Matthew

Here is a chance for your group to perform its way through the Gospel of Matthew.
  You will need three Judges, a time keeper and a gong.
  Each group will need three or four performers and to choose a name. They will receive their task one act before their performance.
  If you only have a few groups then each group may act twice.
  Each judge will score each group out of ten. Those who have the top scores in the first round compete in the final.
