Decided to read through all the comments of each thread to see how closely they match up with what the rating, for some it seems completely reasonable, for others quite confusing.

I will say one thing though; I seem to be called out a fair bit for my comments. I'm not sure when my opinion became less valuable than any one else’s.

Leave me alone, you’re starting to hurt my feelings!  

Quoted from LC I love Cam's one word reviews.

Nope.

I’m giving this comment one star.

Feelings? There're no feelings in writing!

As we near the end - at least per my eye:

Average score for all scripts is right around 3 - maybe less (can't tell exactly because don't know the value of partially shaded stars)

1 - script has a rating above 4

10 - scripts have a rating above 3 - less than 4

10 scripts have an average rating of above 2, less than 3

Basically half of the scripts are rated less then average. Half rated average - one rated good.

If average is 3.

And there's 21 in total.

11 = 3 and above
10 = below

Doesn't that mean more than half are above average?

For Christ's sake -  I'm rounding here.  Okay 52.38% have an average rating of 3 or better.  47.62% have a rating of less than average. Better??

Right now I see three scored above 4.

It's much better scores than regular OWC. They usually give us the ratings for the selectee and runner-ups - runner-ups are usually all below 4. Selectee may or may not be above, but most often just a tad.

There are now three above 4 - a change from when I first wrote the post - good to see

Maybe we'll end up with a seven-way tie. To break it, everyone has to write three more scripts.

The stars displayed to us are either full or half (doesn't look like a half to me, but the name on the image file is for a half), but Don and Sean see the actual numeric average of all the ratings.

A person's score for the round is the sum of their three scripts. If there is a real underlying writer-level quality difference, then adding three scores will tend to spread out the totals (good writers tend to have three high scores, etc.). I'm worried that even a good writer is going to do well on two genres and okay on the third, in which case summing them is going to bunch all the totals together.

If we were picking one or two or three to advance, I'd say this is the perfect system to identify talented polymaths. For brackets, I think it brings in some randomness, not that randomness was absent from the previous rounds.

I can't imaging what round 4 will look like.

"I assume you have a camera in your cellphone. Produce your entry from Round 1 and upload it by midnight on Sunday."

I'm done.  All but one were rated 3 or above.  None got a 1.  

Good quality.  Can't wait for next round.

Well, this was a delightful experience.

Reading one-pagers is so much fun. Funny, my eye was trained to keep looking for more.

So many inventive entries too. I don't think I scored anything below a three.

Thanks to the current contenders. You all did well.

Looking forward to what's up next.
