Sort the 250 images into a collection eg. "Kids Soccer - 12/11/11" then give the keepers a star rating (press 3, for 3 stars, 4 for 4... etc) say 3 to start with. You can then filter the images withing that collection by star rating, and do your second pass, give them a 5 star rating.
Change the filter setting to 5 and do a 3rd pass selection, by filtering out the ones that aren't quite right (ie make them 4) and they will drop out of the filter selection.
