Oh, wow, big difference in knowing that the possible points is half of what was posted on the website!! Like I said in my feedback thread:
Okay, you know what? After reading through this commentary very carefully, I'm wondering if I haven't made some sort of misinterpretation error as to the way things are scored. Because the feedback offers some very nice comments that are not reflected at all in the scores as they are presented (example: word "superior" being used but not reflected in any way by more than one highest ranking score). If that is the case, perhaps some clarification by the M-Comm will help me understand the scoring system better.
I just couldn't figure out, though, how I might have misinterpreted. Now I understand!
Thanks for clearing this up.
And like Hazel, I'll be interested to learn what qualifies a story for honorable mention. Perhaps it's not based on points awarded but some subjective criteria determined by the judges?
