similarly to the way samba schools are judged, blocos de enredo are also scored according to the performance of their orchestra, their choreography, the sophistication of their float, and their costumes, among other things.

blocos de enredo in group 1 have to have at least 400 members and parade at most 45 minutes, blocos in group 2 must have at least 350 members and can parade at most 40 minutes, and finally blocos in group 3 and 4 must have 250 members, and parade at most 35 minutes.
