Judging the creative writing for instance, we've been told that several times there've been very close, very good, entries. If we have too many of those kind of entries, they'd all get stuck with something like "14 points" even though the quality of the work is something several points higher.

Would it be possible for judges to have a method to request the ability to give out a small amount of additional points if a time like this arises? I'd imagine they'd have to appeal to the admins, and obviously this would be allowed Very sparingly and only if the admins truly agree they deserve more points than the limit allows them to get.
I'm fine with the proposed judging system; however, you bring up a valid point. If a situation like that arises, it would be best for the judge to get into contact with PXFIRE Leaders ASAP to figure out a resolution. I think 100 points is the right call though, because while you MAY get an overwhelming amount of entries, you're more likely to receive an amount that isn't too overwhelming... and I'm making that assumption based on the activity PXR sees on a daily basis. We're more of a relaxed, slower moving community, so PXFIRE activity will probably reflect that (it may actually see a slight rise).
