Hi, Batty! Thank you for your input and suggestions. We are currently not accepting feedback about the application schedule, as stated above, because we would like to see how it works out as-is first. We will likely be taking feedback in the future once we can make informed observations about how the current schedule is working.
To clarify a bit about the role of bounties in the scoring algorithm, those who didn't complete a bounty were still important to the overall score! Those who completed bounties were simply given an extra "point" due to the IC reputation that came along with it. We certainly didn't mean to make it seem like anyone's participation wasn't important, though, so we'll take this under advisement for next time.
Regarding your comments on the solutions and exploration subjects, thank you for bringing up some interesting solutions! Our time limitations mean that we can't be as detailed as you've laid out, but we'll keep your suggestions in mind and see what we can incorporate. Again, thank you for your feedback, and please let us know if there's anything else you'd like to add.
