| | | NM it probably wouldn't be fair to the people who didn't do so hot. I'm not worried about it. |

If anyone sends joke emails to the prize thing, I would highly suggest NOT doing that as you will not be a happy camper. 
And what's so hard about the rubric, I've already said over half of it in various threads, the rest is just logic. |

| | i'm sure a simple email wouldn't ruin anyone's camping experience 
i'm only curious to see the rubric because the results surprised me. i was expecting a different ride to show up in the top 3.

| | i was finally able to put my finger on why its so important to judge all the rides at once side by side: because when you grade them as they come, your ratings will ultimately depend somewhat on the type of mood you are in.
for example, if you just got home from school and you got an 'a' on a math exam  , then you will be in a good mood and will subconciously rate easier than normal. on the other hand, if your girl friend just broke up with you, then you will be in a bad mood and subconciously rate lower.
those are extreme examples, but they illustrate my point. when you rate them all at once, your rates will still depend on your mood, but atleast they will all have the same bias so it will be fair.
and no one should make the argument that this isn't true. there is not one person out there who would be able to rate consistently from day to day. its just human nature.

As for me, I got busy, and I had to judge all of them at once. I wasn't in a altered mood, I just needed to get it done. I judge each coaster by itself, and I don't make any comparrisons to either one. Each coaster deserves to be graded on what it is, not how it compares to others, the numbers do that.
Just so you guys understand what we do in the process. I can't speak for everyone, but I usually judge with a normal mood. I just like to judge each track indipendently, and how it is. Not if it lives up or is better than one another. Thats how I feel it should be.
