Yeah, since the possible is now 260, I'm confused too. It would be nice to have that cleared up. All I know is the e-mail that came to me included the possible for each section in the parentheses. Those numbers clearly didn't match what Meredith posted. That had a total of 600. I just know I'm way below the others. It doesn't bother me that the scoring system changed from what was on the Merriweather site. But the system should be the same for all authors.
Surely they would realize we would post our scores and compare them. We're human, after all.

I see the sample scoring sheet for short stories is not longer on the Merriweather site. The sample for long stories has a total of 230 possible points. So 600 points for a short story seems like a big stretch. But whatever the points, for me the written comments was the most valuable.
