Where are the rankings for all the films? I'd love to find out & see how others placed, etc.

Have they ever done that?

we'll go top 10 publicly, but beyond that it's on request and then those people can share if they want to...
We figure it's not polite to read everyone's grade in front of the class, as that person who finished 63 might not want everyone knowing that

Makes perfect sense. Yeah, even though LAST TOUCH placed top 10, I was still then embarrassed to a degree to see that it was last in the rankings. NOT a bad thing, mind you and I'm still very grateful to have been a finalist, just that feeling like you said of having your grade read in front of the class, lol.

From the sounds of it, it was likely only by .0001 percent difference ... bet now you'd have given me just ONE less star, huh??
You had a solid entry.

I should feel worse than you. I ranked 11.

Ha ha!
Next time, you get 1 star. rogar-Love(DBG):One thing I wondered about. How many stars did the participants give themselves? Did they give themselves 10 or an honest appraisal? Just for the record, I gave myself 7 stars. Call me stupid.

I think the como consistently has to be the most honest voter when it comes to rating yourself.
no .0001's... there were some that were hundredth's apart... but none in the top 10... that's part of what the 2nd round is for.
a couple hundredth's of a point is pretty close, but still several perfect 10's or 1's from real impact... or a whole bunch of 6's, 7, 8's, etc...
A few tenth's of a point is a solid margin once there are enough ratings in. I would not recommend folks trying to game the system

OUCH on the one star! What's your address, I'll send you a gift to make up!
I didn't give myself a 10, that's for sure. I get what you're saying, however, and it's been brought up before. A part of you has to assume that because it's a competition, every person is going to give their own film a 10, and if that actually DID happen, then it would just nullify their own vote, so to speak, since everyone would be on the same playing field.

I thought about giving myself a 7 as well. But as that could potentially hurt me, I found it was probably better not to vote at all.Ha ha!

That's makes sense. I believe they should not count our votes at all. Its awkward to vote for yourself.

I did not give Tiny Dancer a vote. From the get-go, it seemed morally inept for me to do so.

Yeah, I absolutely agree.
