Normal Challenge:

After a normal contest entry period has come to a close, Commego users and/or judges can vote on the contest entries. After the voting period is over the system will automatically calculate the winner(s) based on the following:
Highest amount of votes and earliest submission (in the case that two users might have the same amount of votes, the user who entered the contest first will win).
In contests where multiple entries per user are allowed, the average amount of votes for all entries will be used to determine a winner.

Flash game challenge:
There is no voting period for Flash contests. Instead, the winner is determined directly from the highest score.
If there is only one integrated flash game within the contest, then the user with the highest score will win.
If the contest creator has set a 'maximum number of entries' that is higher than 1 (multiple attempts), the average score of all attempts will be used to determine the winner.
In case the average score is the same, the total game score (for multiple entries) will be compared.
In case this is still the same, the number of game scores is used (with the lowest attempts being the winner).
In case this is still the same, the system looks at the earliest score to determine the winner.
In case there are multiple games within the contest, the average score of each game will be compared.
