A quick definition of incompetent evidence:

Term: Incompetent evidence

Definition: Incompetent evidence is evidence that cannot be used in a court case because it is not important or relevant to the case. Sometimes, courts may still allow this type of evidence, but only if it does not affect the outcome of the case. However, if the incompetent evidence was used to make an important decision in the case, the court may have to reconsider the decision.

A more thorough explanation:

Incompetent evidence is a type of evidence that cannot be used in court because it is not relevant or does not have any connection to the case.

For example, if someone is on trial for stealing a car, evidence about their favorite color or their job would be considered incompetent because it does not have anything to do with the crime they are accused of.

However, sometimes incompetent evidence is still used in court. This is usually only allowed if there is not enough competent evidence to support the judgment or if the incompetent evidence was relied upon by the trial court and influenced their decision.

Overall, incompetent evidence is not useful in court because it does not help to prove or disprove the case at hand.

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
