Then, the decision matrix for the year 2009 is presented and theresults are shown for both ways of judgment: the official one, currently used to rank samba schools; and thealternative one, through the use of lexicographic method. In the conclusion, the results for both methods arediscussed and compared, which will allow us a better comprehension about the use of lexicographic methodand the judgment about the feasibility of its application for this case.
