Judging rubric
Scores are 1 to 5 per criterion, combined by these weights. Judge bias is corrected before ranking; the method is on the results page.
| Criterion | Weight | 1 means | 5 means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Functionality | 1 | Does not run, or the core flow is broken | Everything it claims works, including the edge cases |
| Innovation | 1 | A copy of something that already exists | A new idea or approach others would copy |
| Quality | 1 | Hard to read or change, no tests | Idiomatic, well tested, easy to extend |
