Great feedback in the comments for growers/breeders!

Thanks for all the comments, it makes it easy for ppl to understand why entries finished as they did.

You'll notice any self-votes were not counted and highlighted in red.

Looks like everyone was honest as far as I can see, even the self votes.

I have no dog in the fight but really ..you let contestants vote...Both Organic earth and Bezzel Hammered Huge with a 22 and a 28 thus sealing their entries.. not really fair to me.

Anyhow grats to the winners.

As far as I can see organic earth hammered everybody and his reviews were kicked out of my average, I have no complaints. Thanks to everyone for putting on a great event!!!

The yellow indicates outliers. They are added to the totals. Only the red highlighted self-votes are not counted.

But yes, organic earth did vote consistently and explained the reasons. Remember, no two ppl respond the same, and some have a lower tolerance for cannabis that isn't medical grade or smokes poorly. Others just use a wider range to grade. There's no reason those outliers shouldn't be included unless the comments don't make sense and don't jive with what others said.

Aaahh, I thought because the total number was red, that it was kicked out. Understood.

these things are subjective, i think the voting looks consistent, but i do think next year we might disallow judges from voting even in the category they enter. it's less fun for entering judges, but it makes the competition even more transparent and honest.

Skip I agree in part but the guy obviously was voting down the competition I mean he gave the Riri cut a 13...what more proof do you need then that unless you think Gaiusmarius can't grow...just playing Gaius.

the sativa pack quality was very high and tastes vary, it was a 4month old crop so yeah i was a bit surprised, but tastes differ in the end and some folks are very strict about small imperfections. i will analyze the votes closer, but as i say, sativa pack was incredibly good over all.

as long as a judge use the same strict standard scoring system on everyone, it won't affect the average.
