The judges evaluated the submissions for the McMaster University High-Throughput Data-Mining and Docking Competition based on 3 criteria: identification of active compounds, percent enrichment, and overview of the competition. Using these metrics, 4 of the participating groups found meaningful enrichment, and 3 groups made perceptive comments about the general nature of the competition.
