Although a good idea, couldn't someone just submit like, 100 perfect votes for
themself, and improve odds.

Personally, I think voting should be kept to just inside entrants.  Even there,
an entrant can give a 0 score to everyone else, but everyone is at a certain
level of fair play, and would therefore not submit to such low values (I
hope!).

I'm not making the choice however.  The idea is good, but it just doesn't seem
to work too well.

But maybe, you could use ip addresses to back check spam votes.???
