Re: [xl7] Re: contest?

Tried doing (relatively) complex voting like that in other contests I've 
run or participated in, and ultimately it ends up being more confusing and 
less people end up voting overall.  Chances are we won't have enough 
entries anyway to make it feasible.  No reason you can't make up your own 
categories after the fact though, be good to discuss on the list once 
we're all done.

I'm cool with this idea and have a suggestion as to how to make it 
work--if its technologically possible.  Each voter gets to rate each 
submission with 1, 2, or 3 "best" categories.  The judges then 
compile the list of "bests" for each submission.

For example, someone might do a piece that other composers might 
label as:
(1) best rendition of a theme from Frank Zappa
(2) best combination of pads and strings juxtaposed with a mutated 
melody disguessed as harmony 
(3) best use of overlapping duple, triple, quintuple, septuple, and 
nonuple meters in a 32 measure composition.

etc.

This way, in theory, everyone is a winner!!!!
