Criteria
In the 2010 elections, I will be evaluating candidates according to their ability to employ cliches in imaginative and decisive ways.

Arbitration is a difficult task and Requests for Arbitration can descend into endless argument and counter-argument. We desperately need arbitrators skilled in employing cliches. A devastating cliche, deployed at an opportune moment, can cut through pages of tedious discussion, and make all parties realize that they have been talking nonsense for weeks.

I will be using my usual point system for cliches: standard mentions of broken processes, and us all being here to build an encyclopedia will score 1 point, with points increasing from there. This year I am particularly looking for imaginative uses of the metaphor "hat". "Throw my hat in the ring" or similar will only score 1 point, but more creative or indirect references to wearing hats as an editor will lead to bonuses. All other points are scored as before according to well established rules.

Candidate scores
PS. If you notice any cliches in this guide or any other, beware: this year's guide writer could be next year's candidate!
