I agree, we could do with some solid judging criteria.

i agree. This is why we need official guidance on how to judge fights, preferably not completely on damage and other factors should be considered more, like control and aggression, which is different from damage. you may say that this would mean that non spinners are Favorited in judges decisions, but i think at least 90% of spinner fights are over pretty quickly and if it lasts 2 minutes then maybe the non spinner deserves to win. i lasted the full 3 minutes against a spinner without relenting and definitely felt hard done by that the judges immediately gave the spinner the win with no thought put into it. but if that fight stopped at 2 minutes nothing would have been different.Due to damage being a very obvious thing to judge on, when fights are taken to a judges decision, the spinner shall almost always be awarded the win.
Time may not always be an issue at every event but we all love the fun and games at an event after the main aws. so we could still have some time saving measures. and this spinner bias would be countered by new judging criteria.Changing to 2 mins would swing bias more towards spinners and make other machines uncompetitive while solving a problem we do not have.
