This has been somewhat discussed over on Google Groups (RMCR), but the Chopin Competition did release (a couple of days ago) the scores and ratings of each of the competitors by each judge in each round of the competition. If we look at the final round, we see that each juror could rate each of the finalists on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest, i.e., first prize). Of all the finalists, Katie got the largest number (3) of 10's (first place votes), but she only got third prize.
So what happened? It turned out that a couple of the jurors rated her very low - two jurors in particular: Akiko Ebi from Japan, and MARTHA ARGERICH from Argentina (now Switzerland). I hate to say it, Martha, but you really blew it on this one! Any more decisions like this and folks are going to take away your "Tigress" credentials! ;-)
Seriously though, it's very interesting seeing what a wide divergence there was among the jury members with the different competitors. It reinforces what that British critic that they interviewed said: why shouldn't critics disagree with the judges decisions? After all, the judges can't even agree among themselves! ;-)
