Well, after considerable delays on my end, it's time to see these results! Make sure to say thank you to the judges ( TheJavabrew, cardboardcell, Amethyst and Shoujo) for their time, regardless of the low turnout. As well as a thanks (and apologies) from me to the kaizo judges who dropped out due to there being no kaizo entries!
Before we actually get on with the results I would like to make a statement regarding one of the entries: Revenge of Switches Pressed broke the infinite lives rule, however after lengthy discussion between host, judges and after asking how other participating teams felt about the rule break, I've come to the decision to not take action against it. In most contexts a rule break would not warrant this sort of discussion, however the inclusion of the rule in this contest was a mistake on my part that wasn't originally intended as part of the contest, and I felt that removing the rule during judging would have been more unfair to the participants than a polling and discussion. I will be creating a thread in the Events Discussion & Feedback forum regarding the event after this post goes up, if you have any thoughts about this decision I ask you to leave them there instead of in this thread. Regardless, the outcome of this decision will not be changed.
Now that we're past that... Let's get to the main event, to start with here's all of the judge comments:
