no, I don't see why that would make sense. they aren't any more eligible for Loved than the rest of the 600
it is unfortunate that such a small amount cover large spreads; there's not much we could do about that though
I was merely stating my stance from the viewpoint that, compared to maps with less than a full spread (E-N-H-I-X) worth of difficulties, maps that not only have such spreads but have much larger spreads (of which there are extremely few) tend to take much more time and effort to assess and process.
I'm saying that it might be prudent to at least give higher priority for inclusion in polls, not for them to all be put into one or two nomination cycles. Perhaps one every few rounds of the polls, for example.

Can anyone explain what does "haven't tried" or "Stamp of approval" means in google sheet. Aren't captains just looking throught submitted maps and choosing which one they like the most?
Stamp of Approval: This category is for beatmaps that have already been approved for eventual inclusion in the polls for future nominated. The priority assigned to these remains, to this date, without concrete definition, and as such, beatmaps are nominated at the Captains' discretion.
Haven't Tried: This category is for beatmaps that, though neither incomplete nor outright rejected based on the few possible disqualifying criteria in the Loved process, have not yet been approved for future inclusion in polls. This does not inherently mean that the beatmaps haven't been tried.
WIP/Unsure: This category is for beatmaps that, though not outright rejected based on the few possible disqualifying criteria in the Loved process, have been deemed as either incomplete or are still being debated as to whether or not the beatmaps truly belong in Loved in the first place.
Not Enough Favourites: This category is for beatmaps that, though submitted for Loved, do not yet meet the minimum favourite requirements (30 favourites). It is unclear whether or not these maps have the potential to be qualified for Loved in the event that their favourite count rises enough.
Rejected - This category is for maps that, though submitted for Loved, have been rejected for any reason that disqualifies them from continuing further into the Loved process. There are a plethora of reasons why this may happen, and the following are the most prominent and likely reasonings:
- The beatmap author has contacted the Loved staff and explicitly refused permission for their map to be Loved, whatever the reason that might be. This can be reversed at any time if the beatmap author changes their mind afterwards.
- The beatmap in question has already been qualified/ranked, or the beatmap author has contacted the Loved staff with the explicit intention of do so with their map. This can be reversed at any time in the case of the latter if the beatmap author changes their mind afterwards.
- The map is a re-upload of someone else's map (unless the map was originally made by the new uploader). This can be reversed at any time if the original beatmap author gives permission for the beatmap.
- The user is a banned or restricted user. This can be reversed later if the beatmap author is reinstated afterwards.
- The beatmap in question is stolen from someone else. This can be reversed at any time if the original beatmap author gives permission for the beatmap.
- The map contains illegal or forbidden aspects (Such as BG, Audio, Video, Copyright Infringement).
- The beatmap breaks the mechanics by which osu functions (auto-fail, breaking score limit, client or PC crashes/freezes when playing beatmap, invalid object types).
