Alright I am not exactly sure who can see this thread and who cannot so I won't post much here yet (As there is a thread here by Daniel but it appears regular members could see it so someone please confirm for me)
I will edit this afterwards with all the details etc.

My initial thoughts:
So the competition was a huge success at first, I thought there would be 10 people in each category who provide very very solid scripts. I also thought it would be neck and neck and people would of finished much faster. I obviously overestimated people's free time! (Should take to note for next time)
My thoughts after the competition:
I was slightly disappointed with the actual amount of scripts I received, I was expecting at LEAST 5 fully functional and awesome scripts what I got was 1 maybe 2 semi-working scripts with a pretty hefty chunk of work done. I believe I wasn't exactly clear enough on what I wanted in the script and that caused a ton of confusion, next time the key note is clarity. I believe it was a success but I also believe it could of ran through much smoother and either way this was my first time doing something of this scale so next time will for sure be better!
Judging:
Tbh I expected to have more judges (I originally signed 4 people up) Only one of the original four contacted me, the others still have yet to respond to my PM. I then asked in these forums and ashman gladly decided to help me, and with his help I was able to finish Judging much sooner than expected! Next time just post it here?
Competition files:
Linked at the bottom just download
Password: r4nd0m
Contains ALL the scripts, all of my notes. Here are ashmans notes (Mind you I didn't judge with scores nor did I post in-depth notes but rather posted by quick notes for all the real judges (Who just turned out to be ashman) then after he did the official judging I gave it my final assessment and tbh agreed (If you look at the scripts, I believe you will agree too)
Something that annoyed me: Nebula
First he specially asked to join the competition (He was banned at the time) He then gives me a script, this script was just a waste of time and meant to troll
Conclusion:
Sure there were things I could of done better, but overall I am pleased. I believe next time I do this it will be much better as there will be a lot less confusion and the scripts will be far more manageable or open ended for more people to compete and be able to complete in the time zone.
Please discuss.
