In the end we could vote on how well people followed the instructions and the
round would be filled with red apples that all looked more or less the same.
Standardization may make judging easier but at the same time destroy the

side is that you would be less able to know what aspect was liked or disliked


some other aspect no one considered that might show up in a round. For example

Sure this is silly the next thing you know we would have dozens of aspects,

things you might say are being accounted for now but lumped under another

Personally I think I would like to make a spreadsheet with two dozen qualities I
look for. Judge each entry on each topic and give them a total as the score.

It seems now that there is more debate about scoring than what should be in the
