Spring Challenge 2017

Our five-week challenge to crown our “spring champion” is now complete. Full statistics appear below. Congratulations to Ian, who won our student category, and to David P. and Kris, who shared top prize in the non-student category with impressive perfect scores.

This challenge ran on the following maps of different types and (mostly) increasing difficulty levels:
