It Seems I Made a Mistake Setting up the Game Jam.

This is not a big deal for most people, but I tried to make it so the first game everyone rated was random, and it seems it didn't work. Not sure what I did wrong, but some people told me that the first game they could rate was not automatically random. I tried to look into it and figure out what I did wrong, but I still don't know. This doesn't ruin the Gam jam or anything, but it's a little bit of a bummer that I could not give everyone a more fair chance to get their games played, which is the point of randomizing the games you can rate.

on my side 1st game to rate was random. It was not obvious where the button was though, but it worked fine

I need to ask more people then, its a bit confusing.

By the way for me, it was like this. I did not see any button anywhere, so I went looking, and found all the games that needed rating, and I could choose and rate whichever game I wanted.  I don't know if it helps to make it less confusing, but hopefully :)

I could rate any game I wanted from start.

Anyway, I generally use "submissions in need of rating" to  rate games with fewer votes.

However, if I was forced to rate a game with only a Windows image at start, I would be annoyed : first, I don't have Windows, some prototypes run with wine, some don't, and second, I don't really like to be forced to run a program made by an anonymous person on my machine.

It's not really a 100% random you can filter by OS and reset once if you don't like what you get.

That's a good system!
