As far as I'm aware: First round is all users across the world. They will give ratings, and be selected based on said ratings. The top 200 (20 in each category) will move on to round 2.
During round two, the same processing will happen, but Google selected judges will rate as well, with Google Judge scores being weighted as 60%, and user ratings weighted at 40%. Not sure on your other two questions :) - Dan On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 8:39 PM, bkbonner <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Dan Morrill (et al), > > I have an app that we are going to submit, my understanding is that > our app will be reviewed by Judges during round 1 and they'll select > the top 200.
