We look at the top 300 designs every couple of weeks and pick out around 10 designs that we want to print based off of the designs score, comments, and the number of i'd buy it's. Ultimately the decision of which shirts get printed are left up to us. The scoring system helps give us a general idea of which designs our customers want.
To score submissions, you simply need to join the Threadless community, navigate to the 'score submissions' section and begin scoring. Score each shirt on a scale of 0-5 (0 being bad). The system will keep track of which shirts you have scored so when you come back you will be all ready to score new designs. There is also a checkbox when scoring to 'promise to buy'. This is just another tool we use to gauge the response to the tees. We will not FORCE you to actually purchase it if it wins.
