I'm not sure what is the Russian team that's concerned about results, but that's what I wanted to post about, so I guess it fits. The situation is worth the attention both of all Russian teams (who may feel sad about their ratings) and the organizers.
It looks like someone rated every Russian entry 1 star, likely without playing. Maybe on every but one, I didn't check everything. I hope the organizers can see the ratings in detail to check.
- Look at the top rated Russian entry. It has 6 ratings and 4.33 average score. You can get this result with five 5-star ratings and one 1-star rating (26/6 = 4.33).
- Yes, I understand you can get that result with two fives and four fours. But I genuinely believe that version is one of the best, if not best one I played. It deserves five 5's out of give more than four 4's out of six.
- It also generally tracks for other entries, even though we can see only the average and the number of votes. Even in dubious cases: I made a mistake of doing everything by myself and missed the meaning of a couple of phrases, so I think the rating of 4 is exactly what I deserve. But I have 3 with 3 ratings. It could be 3+3+3 or 2+3+4, but given the other evidence, I find 4+4+1 more likely.
- I believe, on the first or second day of voting (I don't remember for sure, but I only played a couple of entries then) all the Russian versions stopped being listed on the "Entries requiring ratings" page. At that time I thought someone rated everything 5 for the effort :/
