Okay, Fergus, thank you. Have other contests been judged like this? Also, I'd like to solicit opinions from any interested parties. How do we, or how should we judge the prospective upcoming 47 square contest? Could we hear from some likely contestants? Once things are agreed-upon, the contest will be open. [I already have a board idea... ]
I favor the democratic ranked ballot method, using the Maximize Affirmed Majorities method to tally the votes. I have already written and installed software for this on this site, and I have used it for previous polls. To avoid bias from someone having his friends come to the site to vote for his game, voters should be required to rank some minimum number of games on the ballot. To encourage informed voting, we could even require voters to play a number of the entries on Game Courier before voting.
What is the best way to judge contests? How can we, as a group, set up a system that is reasonably fair and workable? We have a prospective 47 square contest upcoming. How do we judge it? Can we set up a judging system we could/should use for future [board-size specified] contests? The better, easier, and fairer it is, the more contests we can actually have.
