There are a lot of fundamental differences to where this system is used in sports competitions, let's say platform diving or figure skating.
1 (maybe the most important and taken from Hausigels post below) this is neither sports nor a competition
2 the number of judges is fixed and quite low
3 it's the same judges for every contestant
4 while ths judges are usually experts in their field, it is not required, that they are able to do something the contestant has done or have done so in the past
5 the judges only see a performance a single time and from their own point of view, without repeats or slow motion
6 outliers are usually equal (both in likelihood and size) in both directions
7 votes are not anonymous
8 normally there are strict guidelines how a rating is derived from what the judges have seen
9 the athlets can't repeat or change their performance to make it better
1. It is also used in rating algorithms and by statisticians. Here on LMD we have a rating system and it is used for statistics as well.
2,3,4,5,7,8,9. I can't see the relevance for these points, because for me it is about statistics where you pull out an x percentage of the outliers. The judge competition/sports was for me just an example where it is used.
6. I read some forum posts earlier about multi-accounting, that is an outlier the other way around. There is also people who rate higher on the puzzles of their friends, which is an outlier the other way around as well.
