Are you talking about the one on this page?

Something seems odd about weighing in the Overall score,

^^^ That one??

Yes, I read it - and I think I might have started to respond - I know that I sent off a few PM's concerning a MAC judging rework...

Part of some of the new ideas are to completely rehash the attributes used during judging.

To be honest, I took the easy way out and based the whole thing on the familiar AP review attributes...

Obviously, we would need an overall score of some sort but I'm not really sure what else is needed, if anything else at all...

I like the idea you had about allowing judges to assign weight on their own - technically it's a great idea and would be pretty cool to do but in practice, I think it might only lead to even more variation in the scores...

Hmmm....

If there is a good idea for the judging coming out, wouldn't be good to try it on the next MAC?

of course, I think we can all agree changes must be made, and i'm quite sure we're close to a breakthrough, and there is no doubt because of a system change there may be some turmoil initially. So the sooner we try it out, the better it will be.

That's the one!
But the post I made about my view on judging hasn't really got any responses either, not even when I specifically asked for them - that's annoying, because my scores were obviously a big factor in this whole controverse.

Nope, no such PM received - I would really like to be involved though.

I would like to think along with that, so that we may come up with some categories that are all more or less important, "more or less" would then be defined by personal taste of the judges, as in my example of the diverse MIDI.

That I doubt, because in order for that to work judges will have to be more strict. Which I think they should, and that's why I was a bit disappointed that no one was willing to share how strict they think the judging should be. Am I being silly or is the variation in this MAC's score mainly due to variation in lenience?
So if we come close enough to nullifying the variation in lenience, any other variation will be based on variation within the song.
I think that DavidOrr has managed to make a song that scores above average to high in every category I could come up with, so he would still have probably won or at least scored high "overall".
More opinions please!

Hmmm....

Hmmm indeed :)
