With the not yet processed entries, there will be 33 competing games in this contest. What about the following method for judging: everyone can volunteer to become part of the team of judges. The games will be split more or less randomly in three groups of 11 games each. Every judge will be assigned to one group - this should be a group without any game he invented himself. The judges of a group select, following some prescribed protocol, the, say, top three games of the group. <p> Everyone lucky enough to have a game in the finals is removed from the team of judges, and then the judges select the winners from the nine games in the finals. <p> What do you think of this plan? If you like it, would you be willing to be a judge and look to in total 17 games (first 11, then another 6)?
