Yeah it's not fair to insult the winners. But let's also not ignore the inconsistencies and bugs that plagued the competition.
Can you imagine a diving contest with 5 judges and 2 divers, where 3 of the judges rate diver #1 and 3 others (with 1 overlap) rate diver #2? That is how the ADC2 judging worked, that is, if the user could actually install the app that they were supposed to judge. From a purely mathematical standpoint I want to vomit. There's even the possibility that the panel of judges used the same problematic ADC2 judging app we all did. I *wanted* to judge all of the apps, but no matter how much I skipped I never saw half of them. Congrats to the winners though. Let's move on and talk about development.
