Just to put into perspective, here are the totals for the previous years:
2018- 1375 critiques delivered.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
48 of you signed up to the challenge, with 41 active and an amazing 31 people completed the threshold of 12 critiques! The bonus challenges also proved popular, with 3,606 bonus points scored on the challenges!
I was a bit unsure about putting the bonus challenge in, but wanted to try something different and have learnt what does and doesn't work as a result. There will the bonuses next year although there will be an improved approach!
Before I share the results, I need to offer some huge thanks! To operate critmas properly, there is a massive spreadsheet of stats, data and funky colour charts. To help maintain that I had a team of Adjudicators who worked tirelessly to support getting your critiques checked, overchecked and scored accordingly. You guys dished them out as fast as we could add them in so without them I think you would have been waiting till March for your results if I was alone. Therefore please give a huge to JessaMar , doughboycafe and akrasiel for whom I am extremely grateful!
I also need to share the love for our wonderful queen of the ducks squanpie because her artwork for the teams bought them to life. I hope you guys gave her some good critique as the duckbutt challenge was dedicated to her!
The Results: Teams
:
Commiserations to the other three teams and your players. May you think deep what could have been and come back next year fighting fierce!
I heard rumours of discord chats, secret journals and sneaky strategies- but for me that is what the team element is all about! I haven't seen anything yet so if anyone wants to reveal the secrets of their teams, please do because I find it hilarious!
The Results: Individuals
Whether you are someone who chased every bonus point like you were possessed or played it cool and casual to get your critiques written, everyone who achieved 12 or more critiques is a winner. So before we look at individuals, well done to the 31 people who managed the critmas challenge- each of you will receive 300 points each.
However, I know there are a few who are rather competitive and some who are just plain insane. Whatever drives you there has been some individuals hitting the high numbers this year and it wouldn't be fair not to present these results in order of the highest critiques and points.
Top 10 by Critiques

Top 10 overall
Individual prizing
The points awarded are broken down based on a series of things achieved. There was additional points awarded for: Abcdearious, duckbutt, getting all 12 challenges complete, and getting both 25/12 & 1/1, There was also points awarded for those who hit 100, 50 & 25 critiques accordingly and then the winning team also won extra points. Because it will take me forever to put each score breakdown in this journal, totals are below. If you insist on knowing your breakdown, you can comment below.
