After a long, long, LONG wait, I am happy to say that the results are finally tallied. I would like to first say congratulations to everyone who has participated. Excluding a few of you, you have all worked incredibly hard on these levels, and each of you deserve a pat on the back for your efforts. Unfortunately, only a select few of you made it into the top 3...but don't be discouraged.
I also want to give a thanks to everyone who has waited patiently for the results. Most of you have waited very patiently for the results, and I thank you for putting up with this whirlwind tour.

And here are the individual judging texts:
FirePhoenix/Foursword4's Judging
ShodanWii's Judging
Congratulations to our top 3 finalists! You all proved that you have what it takes to outweigh the competition using clever usage of the original limitations of the game. I can say that each of you have put a great deal of effort into your levels, and should be extremely proud of your work. Congrats...you all deserve it!
And with that, I can finally bring all of this to a close. Until next time, this is Foursword4, signing off.
EDIT: I have to sign back in because I forgot to mention something. Due to some issues in compiling the results, some of the final scores were only drawn from one judge rather than both. This was due to one judge either skipping or overlooking an entry. Due to time restraints, I just couldn't delay this any longer. Needless to say, the levels that were slightly penalized for this didn't suffer greatly, as they already received a good score. And with that, I'm officially signing off.
EDIT2: Due to mathematical complications, certain scores were skewed in negative, as well as positive ways. Now, the results SHOULD be correct. All of the names highlighted in green had mathematical mistakes. I put a note besides each name that notes the difference in points now that the score is fixed. Thank you Baby King Bowser Koopa for pointing out all of the mistakes. You saved me a lot of time.
I also want to give a thanks to everyone who has waited patiently for the results. Most of you have waited very patiently for the results, and I thank you for putting up with this whirlwind tour.

Congratulations to all the winners! Sorry it took so long and that all that stuff happened during judging, but the contest is finally over. I very much enjoyed judging the levels that I was able to and hopefully if we have a 3rd annual contest things in my life won't interrupt as badly as they did this year. Once more, congrats to the winners and good job to all those that participated!
