For example, 1 attendee given a slot of 3 choices will effectively be making 3 different choice scores for 3 different talks in this singular slot.
The value attached to the venue capacity score is the equivalent of the room capacity full of 1st choices. So if the capacity is 10 people, this would be the equivalent of 10 x 20 = 200. This accounts for a popular talk having a large venue - it would not necessarily be oversubscribed.
