A highly decent gameplay terrain takes no more than 2 hours. You get 72 hours. A half decent code depending on what your doing takes from 5 mins to 8 hours.
A higher pool score allows for more accurate judging and better precision in balance of different topic.
For example.
Pool score of 5
Gameplay 1
Terrain 1
Code 1
Etc
You cant balance it at all and it becomes really difficult to decide whether or not the map is viable for each section.
Now lets expand that
Pool 50
Gameplay 17
Terrain 13
Code 10
Etc
That fails also as you can still balance it
So lets try Pool 100
Gamplay 30
Code 20
Terrain 25
Etc
Do you get my point?
The higher a pool the easier it is to get a specific number . Lets do out of 1000
Gameplay 300
Terrain 250
Code 200
Etc
See now you can minus 1 point for very tiny problems and How much u see fit for larger problems. I.E Spelling error -1 point But not repeat in same sentance. Playabillity any bugs u find u can do marginal minus. 1 Leak could be say if its 1% of the code 5 points minus
Thus leading to a highly accurate score to what you would rate it instead of thinking. Does it make the 15 mark or the 14? hmm is it really that playable
