[quote=@Lugubrious] I don't understand how you can maintain that I messed up and miscommunicated my methods but aren't a bad judge because of it, and that the winners wouldn't be any different, and that it's not my fault. If I had better standards and communication, then people would have had a better idea what to expect, and some of the people who I disqualified could have ranked anywhere among the top places. Because of the fault, my results are invalidated. It's like getting mad at people for arriving late to a meeting when it was my watch that was fast. [/quote] Because what you intended was clear, to you. And clearly a lot of people [i]did[/i] understand what you wanted. Some people, who went for something a little different, just misinterpreted the exact parameters. The standards are flawed, but your judging based on them was perfectly fine. It's less that your watch specifically was out of synch, and more that everyone agreed on a time but not everyone's watches were set to the same time. So some people showed up early, some people showed up right on time, and a few people narrowly missed the mark. A little more clarity for the future would be fantastic. But completely retallying the results (in my opinion) isn't necessary.
