Scoring System
Maximum Score: 5.0 points
| Criterion | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functionality & Reliability | 40% | Does it work? Is it stable and reliable? |
| Constraint Mastery | 30% | How well did they follow their assigned challenge constraints? |
| Code Quality | 20% | Clean, maintainable, well-structured code? |
| Innovation | 10% | Creative approach, unique solution, clever implementation? |
Formula: Final Score = (Functionality×0.40 + Constraint×0.30 + Quality×0.20 + Innovation×0.10)
All scores normalized as average across judges (0–5 scale).
