Well, it is a part of the public vote, and I don't think it is only because of the fan votes. When you watch every places with public votes, not only in Toribash and this event especially, you can see that the experts vote are not always the same as the public vote. I think it is because of the general vision. An amateur don't watch the same things as an expert. I think, for example, in their mind they give more credits to epic actions like a cork, than just the quality of each steps in a run like an expert could do.
I think it is a part of the public vote and bring something new, that is why, even with complications because of that kind of vote, I want to keep the public acting in the rating process.

As I said, I am open to all ideas about improvement, this is a first test, we have to start somewhere. The real Ninja Warrior event (with real humans) is more simple to rate because only the time used to finish a stage is important, not the style. We can't to the same for Toribash or we will collect badly but fast made replays.
