1st off, Congratulations to Quddha, Cable, Dave C & Eiergooie 
Very well done to the 4 of you
2nd off, How I judged the mixes:
Track selection.
1st of all i looked at each track list, I was mainly looking for originality, not for what type of music i like.
Patticus for example had a totally unique listing, this made up half of how i scored that section, the other part of how i scored it was how well those tracks flowed into each other, if they gelled together, you know (EG. you would not follow Signum - 2nd Wave with Nat Monday - Waiting).
Beatmatching really speaks for itself and i scored this on how well each DJ acheived that.
Transistion Harmonics i scored by listening to how each transistion flowed, if they fitted together nicely, U know how some DJ's can carry off a vocal line from the last track into the bass and synth sequnce of the following track and it fits so well, oooooo a couple of you managed that so well and was scored accordingly. Also the ease of how the 2 tracks blended, again some DJ's can pull off a transistion without u noticeing the change between one track and another at the cross over point, which again some of you also managed and was also scored accordingly. It was the ease of how the 2 tracks went into each other and if they felt right, i hope i make myself understood on that point lol.
Then lastly i added a couple of points for overall feel of the sets, how they made me feel, if they made me go Ooooooooooo Nice or WOW great transistion and added those scores evenly across the 3 catorgories.
I was not looking at each mix for my favorite type of genre, my fav tracks or who u are, but for your DJing skills which encompass far more than just being able to mix a few tracks together.
I said it earlier in this thread that I was impressed by ALL of your mixes, I know what skills are needed and how much practice and time and effort goes into making a succesful mix, and the standard was very high from all of you.
I had to listen to all of the mixes several times over the last few weeks because it was so hard to pick a winner from so many good sets.
And belive me, at the end it had to be done on silly little mistakes that some of u made, a slightly off beat, the volume not quite matched, I had to be that critical because you were all so good.
At the end of the day, no matter what posistion U ended up at, you should all feel proud of yourselves for the mixes u did, each one impressed me and i feel very lucky to have been able to hear what each of u can achieve.
I look forward to the next comp and would be honoured if u would have me as a judge again.
Congratulations to all of you, very well done.

if other contestants with same standard beatmatching get the same mark, well than that's fair enough, but 18/25, doesn't sounds right.
Thank you again to the judges for your work
