    Even if I run the risk of being a little too petty, there are overall 9 submissions and I think nobody is supposed to review its own piece, the "Heavyweight Reviewer" badge would also be awarded to one that has participated with an own submission, if he has only reviewed the 8 other submissions ... 😀

    No you are absolutely correct. Of course, you wouldn't review your own music but it will still be counted towards your total works reviewed.
