Sure they must have eliminated a few as disqualified.
But the number of entries is immaterial. The rules announced the scoring system right at the start so unless they went through the first couple of rounds doing "this is clearly not making top-five, don't bother scoring it" then some scores for every qualifying entry must exist.
I'll repeat that I'm happy to see breakdowns later than the winners' list, but for 5 months work it would be a huge disappointment not to even get acknowledged as an entrant!
Agreed.
If my entry (Kasei) was thrown out in the first pass because it ran horribly on someone's machine? Or if it actually got to the last tier, and everyone liked it, but it just got beat out by the more polished entries? I'd REALLY like to know... as would the artist, and the really nice guy who did music work for us.
If a score didn't exist at the time, who cares - just tell us "entry was tossed out because it just didn't compare."
We never cared about the prizes (and still don't - it was just a fun compo), we were just curious how we'd do.
