Early November Update
This update applies to all judges, but is especially relevant for the dedicated judge.
Previously, the risk/reward ratio remained constant, with both risk and reward increasing at a steady rate over time. With this update, however, the risk/reward ratio will gradually increase over time.
Before this update, judging uncertain issues was generally penalizing. Now, it’s less penalizing, making it advantageous to judge issues you’re unsure about closer to the deadline.
