Confusion reigns in Little Town
Okay, I am very confused about why some designs get a whole week of voting, and why some only get twenty four hours. I assume that there is a score level cut off, but I can't figure what that cut off is. Someone told me that if a design had an average score of better that 1.5 at the end of the first twenty four hours it got to stay up for a week, but my last two designs got over 1.5 and were both ended early. What is the rule that governs this?

I know there is a very simple answer to this question. Anyone???

It used to be 1.5 score, but now they consider the "Id buy it" factor too, if the average score and the number of id buy its are not enough it gets dropped.

I have a 1.44 that made it through the whole week.

Was that design placed off-center? I have found people seem to like the designs I put off to one side or at the bottom of the shirt more than centered designs.

Yeah, many people like designs not to be centered, but I think it's more about not liking symmetry or balance. I don't throw the design away from the center just because, but I try to break the symmetry with the elements of it, like this one

The design is centered but the elements break the possible symmetry. In most cases the placemnt doesn't matter that much when scoring, if people trulylike it they will vote high but comment about a different placement.
