If there aren't enough scores, I suppose there would still be time to get some more judges during the public voting phase.
What happens if a judge turns in scores on some, but not all, of the bots? This would be grossly unfair for those who by default would have zero points from that judge.
Chris, it at least looks like they have sent in partial scores. Why else would some bots have judge 1 and/or 2 scoring them, while others do not?
I would stand in as a judge if needed and their is still time. I didn't enter and i have absolutely no loyalty to the bots from this site (sorry).
Also, Chris, the site should be careful to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Judge one and two have already ranked their top ten, but have not given a score to all bots. That looks very bad.
Skysaw, I think you are confused or at least you are confusing me. 
The ranking of the top ten bots by judge one and two is for the Learning Bot category ONLY. That is what is posted on the Results page of the contest site.
I posted in a previous message on this board that I would be posting the scores as they come in.
1) Because I think it is more interesting and exciting to do it this way instead of announcing all the winners at the very end. This also give us the opportunity to correct mistakes which have already occurred. If we waited to the end and announced the winners it makes it very hard to change anything at that point.
2) I can't post all this information all at once. I need to do it a little at a time.
Regarding the 15 questions only Judge 2 has completed all the scores which I just recently posted. Judge 1 and Judge 3 only have partial scores at this point but eventually they will complete all of them. All we are doing is posting them as they come in.

Ah, ok. It wasn't clear to me that the rankings were for learning bots.
Another question, what happened to the conversation portion of the contest? Was that nixxed this year? If so, my bot hasn't a chance.
