The A–Z of Scrutineering for Ballroom Dancing by Estelle Grassby is a reference to processing judges' marks in Ballroom and Latin competitions. The book explains the evaluation of judges' slips using the skating system and refers to the International Council of Ballroom Dancing/World Dancesport Council rules.

Its subject is competition administration rather than movement instruction. A reader studying scrutineering can use the book to examine how the marks are handled, with the named system giving the text a more specific purpose than a general introduction to dancesport. It is a specialist reference for handling competition marks, rather than a collection of dance exercises.
