Voting discrepancy

Can you explain why there is such voting discrepancy between photos entered at the same time into the same contest, yet there can be up to 50% less duels for one versus another? This has been happening steadily in the past several contests where I actually started to pay attention to this!

  Hi A., I'm sorry for the delay in reply. Voting in contests follow same algorithm as voting for category.

  Meaning, the ultimate number of votes that an image gets is dependent on its early dueling history. The more early wins an image has the higher its ImageScore will go and the more duels it will ultimately receive. The highest rated unpaused images on the site will end up with four times (or more) duels than the lowest. We are primarily focused on refining the scores of the top image – which is the reason for the disproportionate number of duels to those types of images.
  Also, contest duels are not counted against number of duels that you can see on imagedetail page, so you can't compare number of duels of 2 images if you check only imagedetail pages (because those are only category duels).
  Regards, Jasenka
