Michael,
I felt a little funny when I thought I was the only judge for Group B, for
much the same reasons.  But getting more than three judges per pool may be
optimistic, so I'm willing to make do.  And, as it stands, it could be
just you and me judging the final.  However, this contest has been so
delayed and formless, I think judging should proceed, even if there is
only one judge for a pool.  It's at the point where a debatable result is
better than no result.
I've also looked at all the games, and there won't be any difficulty
finding games worthy of the prizes.  If some inventors are unhappy, that
is the nature of what is an unavoidably subjective process.  I have
resolved to treat any complaints like a baseball umpire: don't explain and
don't retract.
