Viktor, Probably, the main flaw in your assumptions is that the judge will score apps in bucket RELATIVELY to each other, while I think that they'll be scored relative to "perfect app" with 10 points in each category. I assume that after judging process all 100 judges will sort their judged apps by application points and, hence, will get the right list where the strong apps will be in the front.
