At the completion of the Competition phase, the contest will enter the Review phase.  This phase will consist of reviewing each screened (See the screening scorecard here) submission against a predetermined Architecture Scorecard.  The scorecard will determine which of the submissions best meets the deliverables laid out in the specification.  Part of the score will be determined by how well the prototype matches the submitted architecture, not necessarily on how well it functions. 

The Appeals and Appeals Response stage will follow the scorecard review.  Each participant can appeal any reviewer statement, as long as it is factually wrong. Each reviewer will respond to the participant's appeals.

Based on the final scorecard standings after all appeals have been settled, a winner will be determined.  The winner will then enter Final Fixes.  During this stage, all identified bugs and Review Board comments must be addressed.  After Final Fixes have been completed, the architecture will be reviewed again to verify the treatment of the fixes.
