Scores are weighted, not each category is the same. A 9 in appearance is not as valuable to your overall score as a 9 in taste. The weighting is...
Appearance ‐ 0.5714, Taste ‐ 2.2858, Tenderness ‐ 1.1428.
Plus, the lowest score for each category is thrown out, meaning you only have 5 scores for each category counted.
So, if you get all 9's, one score is thrown out, leaving 5 9's in each category. With the weighting the score would be...
Appearance: 5 x 9 x 0.5714 = 25.713
Taste: 5 x 9 x 2.2858 = 102.861
Tenderness: 5 x 9 x 1.1428 = 51.426
...which adds up to 180.
