FYI, I have changed the internal composite ranking algorithm I am using to come up with the overall ranking. There are now a lot of variations on a theme that I am now grouping together as a single entry. For example, if designer came up with 1a and 1b and was voted first by two different people here at Astera, it would count against him versus another designer who had just one design.
So, now you may see some of your designs unranked and only the consensus favorite amongst that group of design variations ranked. I'll try to say so in the comments when this occurs to help you evolve your submission.
Thanks,
Mike
