Keeping Appreciation Votes Separate from Rubric Scores

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

Planning process

The organizer prepares the three-judge sheets and a separate host-verified vote tally. Before writing, the host announces that rubric ranking and audience appreciation are different awards. Each ballot is counted under the published rule and the totals are entered only after verification.

Result explanation

The tool provides separate scoring and vote sections. Combining the two without a declared formula would change the contest after participation. Equal vote totals can share recognition rather than being forced into a false numerical distinction.

Alternative

Choose only one recognition route if the host cannot explain both clearly. A noncompetitive appreciation round may fit a small tea gathering better.

Execution notes

Specify whether self-voting is allowed and how many ballots each person receives. The app does not verify voter identity or prevent duplicate physical ballots.
