1. 1. It greatly decreases the workload on the Administrators:

   All they do is take the top 20 from round one, and put them out there.

   Because they put out the top 20, without ordering, there’s no “we have to validate everything before we say anything” that there is now. Because it’s not “here’s 5, oops we have to drop one, here’s a new five, and everyone knows which one had the fewest nominations”.

   You’re an author, your work was nominated in two categories? You can contact the Admins and tell them which one you want to be in, they drop you from the other, and the voters all know where to nominate you if they like your story.

   You’re one of the nominees, and you see that another nominee that isn’t eligible? Send off an anonymous note to the Admins.

   When you have 20 to pick and chose from, let the crowds do most of the digging, and only have to do “due diligence” on the final 5, most of which has probably already been done for you, and posted on various web sites.

   2: It completely ends the problem of < 20% of the voters deciding all the nominees. There were 200 - 300 Sad Puppies / Rabid Puppies voters. There were ~2000 total voters. Those Puppy voters can get 5, 6, maybe even 7 items in the top 20. That leaves 13 - 15 spots for non-Puppy nominations. Unless the Puppies have picked items that the vast majority will like, those picks will be drowned out in the second round.
