Why just the quartile ranking? What is more meaningful in quartile ranking than the raw scores?
Okey, raw scores might not have meaning to Google, but those scores are more useful to the entrants. It will say a lot how the judges looked at the application and therefore where the app needs to improve.. Quartile? It just says something on how Google wants us to see the apps. How does it help that an entrant finds out that his/her app is in the second quarter rank? I will still be guessing how my app lose.
