I find comp01.z5 perfectly easy to use when skipping games.
Here's what you do.

First, arrange the games to your liking. Then randomize them.
Then print out the list to a file. (I use the big red button,
which tries to print out the list two different ways.)

Next, start playing the games. When you decide on the ranking
for a game, go into the text file with a text editor (I'm
pretty sure they make them for your platform; they're nearly
as widespread as z-machine interpreters) and type in the
score for the game in the blanks provided.

When you're all done, email the text file to the vote taker.

When you want to skip a game, you can leave it empty or move
it to the end of the list. The power is all yours.

Plus the user interface is sane.
