@troppmann: Agree 100%. I am gonna be honest, the individual top 10s (staff and guests) are more interesting to me than the deliberations.
I would definitely rather get more of the gang playing games than hammering out winners. Some of the funny categories I like, but you could just incorporate that into staff lists by having them put forward their winner for each category instead of just a straight top 10.
@jasperkazai: @zorak: putting east up in hotel rooms for multiple weeks is a pretty spendy event for the budget, although the year end content is probably one of the most popular things aside from E3.
