That's the nature of subjective review. So I'm tempted to ask why I should bother.But I would say that any nominating committee, picking products for quality-oriented awards, should pick products that reach high levels of clarity of content, entertainment value, editing detail (which may cover need for errata and rules-compliance), interestingness of new ideas, how well it accomplishes any set goals (like simulating the world of Robert E. Howard or representing the politics of Imperial Rome or whatever) and whether the layout and art presented is appropriate for the feel of the product. If the nominating committee, using whatever decision making methods they can come up with to weed out the problems they seem to have now, can agree that product A sets a generally higher standard than product B on those points, they should be more inclined to include A in the list of nominees than B.</blockquote>
