Brian, I love OurStage and I'm really glad that many people I know started participating after you asked me to look into it.
I still believe the "plays" count takes into account judging. I just did a little test. A song came up while I was judging in Electronic/Electro-Pop, called "We Are Many". Before playing it there, I loaded the song individually from the artist's page and clicked on it. It displayed 61 plays. I listened to about 20 seconds. Then I refreshed the page and clicked again. Still only 61 plays. I did this three more times, and the play count stayed at 61. Then I JUDGED the song, listening to some amount over 15 seconds (maybe 50 or so.) When I went back to the song page, it displayed 62 plays.
Just to be sure, I refreshed the page several more times, hitting "play" each time and waiting at least 15 seconds. But the play count never changed. I even tried waiting over 50 seconds after hitting "Play".
