So, does each player place a zero or a ten opposite their opponent?

No. The point of my message was that I don't place much importance on anonymity in this matter, as I highly value the integrity of our fellow players...
But you can rate your own if you want to "hide."

The main thing is that you don't count it as a win.

I don't understand the point of "anonymity" if, in the end, Revan will reveal who submitted what anyway. Personally, I don't care, and I won't frantically try to figure out who didn't vote for which track to find out who submitted it. For example, in my opinion, the main goal of music contests is to discover new great music and choose the best song for yourself, and to see if your tastes align with others. Or am I misunderstanding the situation, and is the main goal of the contest to figure out who submitted what and criticize the submitter with a low rating?

I always try to guess who sent what, just out of curiosity. However, the new rules don't stop me from continuing to do so.

Or am I misunderstanding the situation, and the main goal of the contest is to figure out who submitted what and bash the submitter with a low score?

Oh, someone as experienced as you should have figured that out sooner.

Ah, such an old-timer like you could have figured it out sooner.

I'm kind and don't offend anyone. Therefore, the method of throwing dung is not for me.

And I firmly believe that no one does that anymore; they choose the winner consciously, and not because they need to choose the worst option in order to criticize the best ones, but those submitted by the wrong people.

I think it would be right if all participants had a similar mindset when giving ratings, so I tried to outline what I personally use as a guide when evaluating games and movies.
1 — Awful
2 — Terrible
3 — Bad
4 — So-so
5 — Mediocre
6 — Okay
7 — Good
8 — Very good
9 — Great
10 — Excellent , oh my, 10/10

I've already received almost three full sets.

Sorry for the silly question, Revan, maybe someone has already asked you, but... What is pretense?

IV. Participants submit a photo of an animal and a landscape (one that they find appealing) on behalf of themselves. The others then try to guess the sender based on the combination.

That's a great idea.

The landscape doesn't necessarily have to be exclusively natural; you can even use some kind of industrial setting, which would be quite appealing.

And once again, I'll remind you that the date indicated under each stage represents its start date – on that day, I will post everything that was submitted for it.

I don't want to give anyone a terrible or awful rating; at the very least, everyone deserves a five.

Instead of "awful," I would choose a stronger word. For example, "nauseating" or "pay me to watch this!" Although, in any case, I doubt anyone will give it a rating of 1.
