No, they should be rating all the statements to "Rate the Set" NOT "Rate a
single characteristic". The fact that there is a current average rating at
the top and that at the bottom it says that 0 is for "I don't agree" should
be communication enough. Just voting on one characteristic does not provide
enough input. Also counting this as a 3 would be unfair to other
contestants since you are no longer ranking based on all the
characteristics. The overall average has to based on ALL characteristics.
Something like this should have been in the announcement, but it appears
Stephan was out of loop as much as I was.
"On each area with the set's name on the left, there is a link to rate the
set. When the link is selected, a separate rating window is displayed. In
this window the set of icons are displayed along with seven sentences. Each
sentence can be given a rating from 0 (disagree completely) to 4 (agree
completely). Once you finished rating *all* the sentences press the Rate
set button to submit the ratings. You don't have to rate each set, if you
don't like. Please note that the more sets you do rate, the more input you
are putting into the final design."
