I believe the judging app will provide an unbiased judging environment by not displaying ratings/comments publicly for the ADC2 submissions (otherwise, it's not fair). Whereas if you submit to Android Market, all the feedback is open (which could include some negative comments too). They may not even try your app for judging if they remember seeing a low rating in the Market. This is what is holding me from submitting it to the Market. Atleast, wait and see the judging app. If it is no different from the Market app, then no big deal.
