The average acceptance rate is around 30-35%, and that includes the 75%+ of the top guys. The acceptance rate of the non-top guys has to be closer to 10-15%.

There is a distinct difference in consistent quality between those who we know can make quality files and those who we don't know. Over time, the more files you make and the more blu and jx can help you to improve (plus others, of course)... the better you'll get and the higher your acceptance rate will be.

I'm actually starting to see this myself. My first set of submissions got all rejects, then my second set got a queue, and this one got approved by Blu; all I did was keep in mind the things that the judges didn't like. Meh--it helps a lot when you have people to tell you exactly what's wrong.
