I have experienced the same thing.

In the first week I took a spreadsheet course and got a 9.4, then I also took graphic design and got a 9.3. I handed in all the coursework with specific explanations and I was hoping to get more than what they gave me.

But at the time of the announcement, the participant with the lower score was also chosen as the winner, but I didn't make any protest even though I honestly felt disappointed inside.

On the other hand, I had experienced what it was like to be part of the teaching team in season 19, every week there were many good posts that we thought deserved to be winners, but we always took many other things into consideration when determining the winners. Therefore, I always respect whatever the judges decide, winning and losing is a normal thing in competition.

If our friend @pennsif finds out about this issue, will he open the Steem Debate again?

For clarity purposes, I will still emphaize the process to our weekly selection.

  1. A pool of 10 QUALITY users are considered for weekly selection
  2. 5 Quality entries are considered from this pool.
  3. In consideration, we want new winners from this pool and not repetitive and skewed selections.

Regards,

Then what is the purpose of the grading system if someone with a lower grade is selected as the winner over someone with a higher grade? 🤦‍♀️

I have raised these questions in few reputatable community regarding score and engagement but to be honest they told we considered many things and you know interesting thing was they all belong to the same country Venezuela. So I guess its depending on different factors which are taken into considering I wax expecting to be winner but when I saw the posts of few authors indeed all were amazingl good than me. Better luck to us next time.

I think @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02 should be in a better position to clarify this.
