I can only speak personally, but so far every entry has been appropriate as an example of tapas. Spain has strong regional identities, and cuisine is varied, so for any of us foreigners to impose a single definition on their eating culture would be wrong. That Rick Stein video was a good illustration for people about to do some scoring.
>In select bars in Spain, tapas have evolved into an entire, and sometimes sophisticated, cuisine. In Spain, patrons of tapas can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal.
btw my entry was cooked for two people. (Though I am flattered that some people thought I was man enough to eat all that by myself, I wouldn't want to be accused of inauthenticity for "cooking to main meal status".)

Secondly, and this is going back a while, someone scored an entry down because of the plates used. Although presentation is a category for sure, I doubt that anybody would want to win based on the crockery being used by other contestants, so score nice! Most people can't be replacing their plates on a weekly basis.
