The voting system would appear to be giving misleading averages...

One single vote of 10 gives an average of 10 from a total point count of 10

Two votes of 9 give an average of 9 from a total point count of 18

If the rule is to be taken literally then someone with 10 points could beat someone with 137 points to the final. Or am i misreading something

Chris,

it is not the five highest average scores per person, instead all the scores for a person will be added up and then divided by the number of votes to achive an average. Then the five highest averages will advance.
So 5 5's 3 10's and 2 3's would be an average of 6.1, while 3 10's 2 6's 1 1 and 9 4's would be an average of 5.26.
