Entry by entry

what the judges said
1stOctopus (ClanCo)Ranks 1–2
Pass 11stPass 22ndPass 31st

What the judges said

Pass 1

Polished card with a gradient accent and a win-rate bar, a clean split into agent, svg and themes modules, and detailed error messages; its one flaw is showing '0% win rate' for zero rounds.

Pass 2

No reason recorded.

Pass 3

Polished card with a gradient accent, a large points figure, shrink-to-fit stat columns and a win-rate bar; small modules with a theme file, and the most informative errors (they name the offending value).

Pass 12ndPass 21stPass 32nd

What the judges said

Pass 1

Very extensible (an el() builder, a theme map and adaptive stat sizing) and a tidy card with an initial avatar, though the yellow accent and plainer layout look a little less striking.

Pass 2

Clean, balanced card with an initial avatar and an adaptive stats row. Name fitting keeps at least 16 characters and accounts for wide glyphs, and the agent, text, svg and theme modules make the dark theme and leaderboard easy to add in round 2.

Pass 3

Most careful layout: name sizes step down and always keep 16 characters, and the four-column stats row auto-sizes; the theme and element builder suit round 2, but the yellow accent looks plainer and the code is the largest.

What the judges said

Pass 1

The most distinctive design, with a large monospace points figure and a win-rate ring, but all rendering lives in one hard-coded 600×292 template that will be harder to theme and reuse for a leaderboard.

Pass 2

No reason recorded.

Pass 3

Visually rich 600×292 card with a win-rate ring, a badge and big monospace points, and the name keeps 16 characters; but everything sits in one hard-coded template, read errors omit the path, and it accepts unsafe integers like 1e300.

Pass 14thPass 24thPass 34th

What the judges said

Pass 1

Compact single file and a reasonable card, but the name clipping has no 16-character floor, so long wide or CJK names can show fewer than 16 characters, and the layout is the plainest.

Pass 2

No reason recorded.

Pass 3

Clean, compact and readable code, but the name is clipped at a fixed 22px with no size step-down, so wide (CJK or emoji) names lose their first 16 characters, and the design is the plainest.
