Our experience from the first two weeks of the response, it is important for the organizers of mapathons to assure that experienced OSM contributors can validate the work of the new contributors, especially if this their first day updating OSM and they dont yet understand the various aspects of geometry and tagging.
Otherwise, this will add burden to the validation team.
The volume of objects edited should not be the criteria. What is important is to assure that at the end of the day, the trainees know the basic of OSM and find it fun enough to contribute again.

Thanks all for your contribution.
