Interactive Sacred Choral Works Game (Voting Round)

Underlining mine in both quotes.

Nowhere does it say we have to use all 10 points.

I interpret "to distribute" as "to distribute", not "to withhold".

Surely it's fine if you distribute one third of a point to 9 works, and the points are rounded down to the closest whole number.

[Sammy]

There is no requirement to use all 10 points.  Otherwise, I would have voided Gurn's votes.  In general, the more points you use, the more influence you will have on the outcomes.

Okay, then. Mea culpa and my apologies to both Gurn and Rafael.

Such an affront cannot remain unchallenged!    Choose your weapons, and we shall meet at dawn in "The Diner"...

You are the insulted one, you choose the weapons, excelentissimo y doctissimo senor. I shall be only too happy to oblige.

Not at all, Karl, not at all. Vote at your leisure.

Not at all! A most welcome distraction, actually (particularly with Igor Fyodorovich's Threni getting the coveted "+3" from such a learned source as you are, Karl).

I knew it!

That was fun, and a tight race. Nice to see Mozart's C minor Mass at the top, and (particularly) Monteverdi's Vespro in the No. 2 slot.

Thanks, Sammy, for organising this...

Ocho puntos mas que Stravinsky e igualdad con Bach no es mal, hay que admitirlo, querido amigo. O seria precisamente eso con que te enfadaste?

A beautiful surprise for me.
