The judging period for the 2014 IFComp will close the minute after 11:59 PM Eastern time on Saturday, November 15 — that’s tomorrow night, by my watch. Please remember that judges must rate at least five games in order for their ballots to count towards those games’ final scores!
We’re also accepting prize donations right up until the last minute of judging, as well. If you’ve had a nice prize idea but haven’t gotten in touch yet, please do so soon.
We’re going to wrap this year’s comp in a new and — I hope — fun way on Sunday afternoon. Starting at 3 PM Eastern time on November 16, tune into the competition’s Twitter account for a live-tweeting of the 2014 IFComp’s highlights. We’ll announce, one at a time, the winner of this year’s Golden Banana of Discord (the game whose set of ratings achieved the highest standard deviation), the Miss Congeniality side-contest (representing the games ranked most favorably according to other authors), and finally this year’s top ten IFComp entries.
After all that’s done, we’ll update the website with the complete, final results. The competition ballot page will remain up in between polls closing and that time, so y’all can continue to play the games, but voting will not work. Afterwards, the results page will redirect visitors to each game’s entry on the IFDB, just like every other past year’s results page does.
I’d like to offer a special thank-you to Andrew Schultz for organizing the effort to get all of this year’s games catalogued on the IFDB, and to all other authors who assisted with that.
