For the most part, I agree â averaging definitely helps reduce âlottery winsâ and highlights consistent skill and creativity.
That said, if someone happens to strike gold on their first try and never submits another script, it can still feel a bit like a lottery win.
Dropping the lowest score does encourage scripters to submit up to two entries, which is a good way of balancing things.
I wouldnât call it an issue, but I can see why some scripters might still hesitate to submit multiple entries under the current system â that âdo I post another script to help the prize pool at the risk of lowering my overall score?â situation.

True, that system doesnât prevent it to 100%. But we want to motivate participants to submit more than one entry. Especially for this event, since more entries mean = more prize unlocks.
Also true. As I said above, especially for this event we want to participants to submit multiple entries. Our goal is clear, 100 entries. The average score system is pretty forgiving though. As long as the scripts are consistent, the total average score isnât the that effective if one entry is a bit weaker. And if somebody participates in both rounds, a weaker entry gets erased anyway.
While I think no system is 100% perfect and every system has its pros and cons, I think the average score system in combination with the âlowest score gets dropped, if participated in both roundsâ, is the fairest system. If anybody has ideas or suggestions on how to improve it, or for a total different system, I am very open to hear it. I am all ears for any suggestions.
