We settled on doing this:
Submission and voting will remain as it will, but we figured that if we tackle the issue this way, by giving people more time to get to grips with each week and having more time to prep/ work on the models that should help a lot of the issues.
We understand that separating submission and voting would be beneficial as it allows everyone to get a model in before voting begins, but then that throws up some issues with everyone submitting, and stopping people from voting, plus if some people aren’t able to vote say, on the last two days of the competition then that rules them out.
It just seemed like the easiest way to sort out some of the issues, if you don’t like it, let me know, let’s talk this out! Cause I’m all over the place right now!
