Dan, thank you for the responses. A couple of follow ups.
With Phase 2 I meant the 100 being winnowed down to 50. From the ADC Judging Process page: "In Phase 2, the 100 highest-scoring submissions will be all be sent to a new panel of judges (which may or may not include one or more of the judges who participated in Phase I judging). ... The 50 entries with the highest scores in Phase 2 judging will move on to Round 2 of the Challenge..." Just for clarification, are there again groups of judges assigned to look at a subset of the top 100 entries? Or are the entire set of entries judged by all the judges in Phase 2? Is the "outlier" procedure still used for Phase 2? By outlier I mean the review of scores not matching the rest of the scores for the application (mentioned on the board). I totally understand the want to have a fair playing field. It would not be fair to extend advantages to winners that can make the trip to Google I/O.
