Were collected over 150 completed questionnaires from the 
participants voting. I would also like to express special 
thanks to Andrey Timofeev (TiM) and Maxim Popov (Maxx) from St. 
Petersburg, SpbZxNet, for their immense help in processing 
information. Since a small number of completed questionnaires 
received in addition During the day on August 24 after 
treatment with the bulk of the questionnaires, published 
results are preliminary (and unofficial They, alas, will remain 
forever ...). 


                               Non-works that have taken place:

       Theme Competition

 Demo ZX-Spectrum 5 2 6

 Amiga 4K Intro 1 (?) - -
 Amiga Intro Compo 4K

 Amiga 64K Intro-3 2 1
 Amiga Intro Compo 64K



On the ZX Graphics Compo was presented, if not mistaken, 164
work. Because of this their number was simply impossible to 
remember all the titles and authors, so I apologize authors 
these papers for the lack of information about authors. I had 
planned get this information from the official results, but, 
you know ... Similar excuses and want to bring the authors of 
works on platform Amiga, where I was being spektrumistom, has 
practically does not keep track of events. Dear author, Please 
urgently write to zxnet@deol.ru, in the Subject field you need 
to write: 095/462; provide information about yourself, and it 
will go down in published pages Newspaper NICRON!

In the "Graphics" ZX-Spectrum took first place drawing
"X-FILES", succeeded at number 50. He won with a huge
separation from other studies, collecting 58 votes, 16 of which 
- for awarding the first place. In the second place work number 
5 for the which was filed by 31 votes, 8 of them - for the 
award of the first place. Third place goes to work at number 31 
- 30 votes out of including 3 - for awarding the first place. 
Relatively large number of votes collected as the work: the 
number of 90 - 23 votes, No 32 - 20 vote number 42 (fellow STS! 
"tin can" - Krutyakov!) - 18 votes, number 27 - 17 votes.


In the category of "Demo" ZX-Spectrum took the first place 
"BINARY LOVE" Group "Digital Reality" - 141 votes, of which 64 
- for first place. Second place - "SHIT 4 BRAINS" group 
"Progress": 136 votes, 61 of them - in the first place. Third 
place - EYE ACHE 2 from "CODEBUSTERS": 104 votes, 54 - for 
first place. Between the first and second-place vote difference 
is very small! 

Competition music on ZX-Spectrum can not be considered valid (it
terribly sorry - imho VB), as has been demonstrated
less than 50% of the submitted works.

On the IBM PC platform does not held on the competition.

On the Amiga 4K Intro Competition was presented one paper. For 
her received 82 votes, but at the same time in 1959 voted a 
dash for the nomination. Several questionnaires did not had 
marks on this contest. 

Amiga 64K Intro: only 3 of the paper presented. First Place - 
Work No. 3: 128 voices, among them the first place - 75. The 
second place - Work No. 2: 132 votes, but in the first place - 
61. Job No. 1 third place and collected only 4 votes for 
awarding her first place. 

A few words on the use of "methodology" awarding a prize
places. I must say that when the three of us with Maxim and 
Andrei "Processed" form, this process was observed and many

and many offered their own versions. For example, the proposed
multiplied by a factor of "3" number of votes for the 1 st 
place at the 2 - to 2-s and just end up voting for third place. 
But when This approach is quite possible that the work can 
"win" for by "second" vote. We decided that the validity of the 
first place determined mainly by the number of votes was for 
the 1 st place. And with the second place be like? Count only 
votes for the 2-nd place? But do not discard, then vote for the 
1 st! In general, the argue and discuss-the people (once again, 
that "Process" involved a very, very many, work was under

full transparency), sorted out and the 2 nd and 3 rd place. K
Fortunately, the sympathies of the audience were practically 
unambiguous: prize-winning work in all but the Amiga 64K, 
nominations were greater number of votes for all three points, 
respectively for 1, 2 and 3rd place. So like all true

happened. But criticism is accepted, and if you are challenged,
write to the address in ZXNet, mentioned above.
Publish the final results with the exact number and 
distribution of votes so as not to cause people to debate and 
doubts about the methodology awarding prizes. Technique which 
would have to use the official members of the jury, we is not 
known, the people no one came. 

Yours -

Andrey Timofeev (TiM) and Maxim Popov (Maxx). Friends, I am 
sending you hello, shake your hand and wish you all the best in 
life! 

================================================== 
============== PS: the latest news, 28 August, a letter from 
the Maxx-a: 


        Hayushki, Vladimir!

    <... cut personal ...>

P.S. If you destroy the form of juggling,
a slightly different situation:
1. In the ZX Spectrum Demo Compo will swap

  places the first and second place.
2. In the ZX Spectrum GFX Compo on 3em place

  will be another job.



   Sincerely, Maxx.
================================================== 
============== These are the things here. But still, in my 
opinion, Digital Reality and Progress - comparable to stronger 
and stronger team. I think nobody will be hurt. Let's wait 
until Sunday-Monday, when the guys from Peter calculate the 
final tsifir. Note: the falsification of results was found, and 
none of this was to hide!

only one! Literature is abound, and soon one more (and maybe

Even two) EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER! A brief announcement read
