The numbers so far.....

["James Purchase" <jpurch@interlog.com>]

As of right now, seven people have voiced an opinion of how they feel the
Criteria ought to be weighted. Several folks showed some latitude and
flexibility in how they felt certain of the Criteria could end up. A summary
follows:

Criteria "C"
1. Selection and Use of Materials
2. Composition / Balance / Use of Space / Use of Color
3. Viability
4. Overall Impression

Votes.............................1...............2................3........
.........4
Justin
Collins.................20..............30..............20...............30
David
Engle..................20..............25..............15................40

Jason

Karen
Randall................15..............30.............15.................40
Ken
Guin.......................20..............30..............20...............
.30

Some of these have been recently posted, others I found by going through the
archives over the past week. I may have missed a post or two, so if you
stated a preference on weighting that I do not list above, or if you wish to
adjust something, please do so A.S.A.P.

Averaging those numbers out, I come up with

Average                        19               30            16
35

I don't think anyone would consider rounding the numbers to the nearest "5"
as being unreasonable, for ease of use by the Judges, so the Criteria look
like this, at this point in time:

1. (35%) Overall Impression
2. (30%) Composition / Balance / Use of Space / Use of Color
3. (20%) Selection and Use of Materials
4. (15%) Viability

Any last minute changes/additions/comments/adjustments? Does anyone object
to my "averaging and then rounding" of the votes cast? If you can suggest a
fairer alternative, please voice your ideas.
