The scores are a puzzle to me, seems the winner is the one that gets the 
most responses of average or better.  For the system to work it seems 
that every reviewer must judge every work.  If you look at the current 
scores as ratios of points/potential points the ranking would be 
different.  But that is not 'fair' either.  Seems the only fair way 
would be to enforce that all review all, or else somehow attribute each 
entry a dummy average score for each potential reviewer, then have the 
reviewers in effect altering one of the scores up or down from average.
