OOPS!
As I was scoring the stories to determine the winners of the April contest, I discovered that the formula that have been using does not meet the criteria set out in the contest rules. I have been multiplying the number of votes times the average rating, when I was supposed to have been using number of votes to break the ties between average rating.
My apologies to any authors that would have scored higher, but done is done. I will be changing to the correct method for future contests.
