The Scratch Mod Olympics is a competition to see who can make the best modification of Scratch. It starts on August 20th 2010, and ends on January 1st 2011 (all times are EST). There will be 10 judges judging 7 aspects. They are:
User Interface
Ease of use
Development speed (how long it takes to write a project)
Low amount of Errors
Extra Features (ex. CYOB)
Block variety
Block function variety
The judges will rate these on a scale of 0-100. Once all of the points from each judge are added up, the mod gets a gold medal for first, silver for second, and bronze for third. Once this is done for every catergory, whoever gets the most medal points (Gold is 3, silver 2, bronze one.) wins.
