Unfortunately the topic I used to bring attention to this issue was hijacked into an argument about the deadline system. I would like the RYZ's staff to please rethink how the shoe designs behind the top 27 finalists are being presented. As of right now it is hurting those who took time to satisfy the community of RYZ and Magic by redesigning and submitting "perfect" designs. As it stands, the oldest submissions are placed first behind the top 27. It would be a better process if these submissions were randomized or using some other system. Here are my arguments:

A) Many of the first submissions were experimental and not finished designs.
B) Designs were submitted with the intention of receiving critiques, then being resubmitted, as it stands, the worst of some shoes (including my own) are at the front.
C) There was no way for designers to delete old designs. No option is included in the account and I can't speak for other designers but I sent an email to the given address to delete submissions, however they weren't deleted.

Please at least review this and give a decision, instead of spamming a message about voting. I have much respect for RYZ and their willingness to adapt because of the MTG community, I feel like a guest and I have been well taken care of; however, I also feel in the last topic that I was brushed off and handled.

Here are some suggestions for ways to deal with the area behind the top 27:
A) Randomize the rest of the pages weekly, biweekly, daily, or whatever span of time you want.
B) Each day, place only a few pages up to review and vote, that way the top 27 are available daily, and the other shoes get less publicity, giving all not in the top 27 equal time, and giving the top 27 a reward for being in the top.
C) Cycle the top five pages behind the 27 to the back every day, this shuffles up the submissions giving all a time at the front.

Please give this some consideration, I only wish to make this experience better for all and hopefully help RYZ for the future. Thank you for being so receptive of the MTG community. I look forward to purchasing some shoes!

Thanks for your comments Joseph. We're leaving the designs as they are. If you want some designs deleted, email us at ryz@ryzwear.com, and tell us which ones you want us to delete for you.

I have emailed at least twice trying to get designs erased. I'm sorry but I get the feeling that RYZ doesn't have a very firm control on things.
