Original quote PineapplePen wrote: I think that the more important aspects of judging would be mixing and animating, because it's hard to judge art as some people don't have their own artists

As mixing and animating are things that any group can do (with varying levels of quality, of course), I would say that those two parts are the most important. Some people also like to judge based on pronunciation, but those are still the minority.

Oh, and by 'bias', I meant as in how points/rankings are allocated. In NCCB, there was a large problem after the round 1 results were out because what rank you got was purely based on how many votes you could get. So, the youtaites who had more friends could get their friends to vote for them, resulting in the same groups getting top for the different categories.

Yes yes don't worry I've got those things in mind. I'm an admin that means I'm a pro stalker ;D

So when you mentioned NCCB I went and looked it up and listened to all the entries as well as the circumstances surrounding it~

For sure I do not want to the results to be based on viewers vote cause yes I understand it is totally unfair. What I want to do is hold a chorus battle with as least bias as possible since I've seen a bunch of other ones that do have it and it can be huge problem. So don't worry! At most (if the battle does come to be) viewer votes will probably count at most to be 20%.

I think though to be more fair, so it isn't just the admins that are judges, I might make an announcement to request for capable people to volunteer as judges too but we'll see about that....
