I'm in some level of agreement with most of what you've posted, @Felly, which I'll give my opinions, both pro and con, below.

I participated only as a judge, and sometimes one week felt too short, but I guess that's kind of the point of WAR too. Short and frantic, and yet so much fun.

And it would have been helpful to sound my opinions off somebody else, who could agree with or challenge my judgements. I do feel, however, that it shouldn't be obligatory to have panels though but if people want to judge as a panel, it shouldn't be dismissed either.

I like the idea and reasoning behind splitting points between teams rather than individuals (this is meant to be a team event after all), but then what happens in a situation like my last judgement? I gave three points to three members of the same team. Probably the biggest reason why? Because only four people participated, three of them all on the same team. I know that perhaps the ASB can be considered a bit of a wild card in that it probably saw one of the lowest participations across all the categories, but that doesn't mean that that issue is can't or won't happen for us again, or for other categories.
