When I judged in the old style, we discussed a lot of the ratings with each other. I think it's better for the stepartists that way, because if for example I didn't get a file and thought it was pretty crappy, but blu saw how brilliant it was, he could show me the good stuff and make my opinion better . Yeah it can change your ratings, but in almost all cases it made the judgment better, as well as making it consistent betwee nthe judges (which makes it easier for the stepartist to take suggestions and improve the overall product). I think that's also a positive of having a Tass-like position where somebody takes everybody's opinion into consideration and gives an overall judgment.

Judging's tough.
