Judging criteria & winner selection
A panel of judges with extensive APL experience will evaluate the submissions and determine the winners.
The judging criteria will be based on:
- Completeness – did you solve the problem? Did you comment your code? (N.B. Phase I solutions need not be commented)
- Use of array-oriented thinking – did you write array-oriented APL or something that looks like C# written in APL?
- Any other criteria the judging committee deems appropriate
The competition organisers reserve the right to choose the winners at their sole discretion. Although not anticipated, competition rules and prizes may be changed or altered at any time.
