Many people have been asking about receiving either their individual scores or a complete list of scores. We've discussed this extensively and have decided to release each submission's quartile rank through individual emails within the next few weeks.

Why quartile rankings? Well, we feel they provide more meaningful information about relative application rankings than just raw scores. We designed the judging process to identify 50 applications with the highest scores out of a large pool of excellent submissions. Many applications received average scores that are within 0.1% of each other because of the number of submissions. This means that providing an individual score to each participant does not provide meaningful information on the relative ranking of that submission.

Another request has been for textual feedback from judges. However, judges only provided scores for each application; they did not provide notes or any other comments.

That being said, the number of great applications far exceeds the top 50! We had many judges actually ask for contact information for developers from the entire pool of applications—and we're forwarding that information on to the judges for developers who opted-in.

We're excited by the massive response to the challenge and we can't wait to see more great applications for Android.
