Please note that Rongi is assuming I'm doing scoring the exact same way as in the YT cycle, which I'm not It'll be similar, but reversed. So model #1 will get 8 points, model #8 will get 1 point. The judge scores will be multiplied by a factor based upon the number of votes to ensure that the judge scores count for as close to 75% of the total score as I can get.

The main reason is people like big numbers It can be confusing for the highest scorer to be in last place - unless we're playing golf, I guess.
