1	Top ten scoring plays highlighted in gold. NOTE: This year there was a four-way tie for 5th place and a two-way tie for 6th. In the case of ties, the director decides what scripts will be selected for production based on what fits in best with the cast and remaining show time.
2	Play Title	Judge A	Judge B	Judge C	Total	Judge A Comments	Judge B Comments	Judge C Comments

3	A Not-so Timely Arrival	23	15	25	63	Predictable ending.	Dialogue should never be center justified - difficult to read. Overwritten. Ending is predictable.	Might be a bit long in the beginning.
4	Abduction	23	20	13	56		Overwritten. Jokes are repetative. Would be better with tighter dialogue.	Kind of boring
5	Alien Attraction	25	23	16	64		Might make a good show opener.
6	Alien Eclipse	22	22	13	57			Good start, bad finish
7	Alien Makeover	26	20	25	71	Many of the ones I've read so far drag Cthulhu into the story. I don’t imagine you want to show that repeatedly. This is the best one so far.
8	Aliens in the Tater Patch	25	23	25	73
9	Aliens!	16	18	14	48		A lot of banter, but not much of a plot.
10	A-Lines From Outer Space	24	21	26	71
11	Allen Abduction	24	26	21	71			Needs some editing. Good idea but takes to long to get to the point.
12	Always Be Fetching	23	13	15	51	I kind of liked it, but I think it's impossible to stage with the resources at our disposal.	Instantaneous costume change unfeasible for stage. Not all that funny.
13	Best Friends	20	15	14	49		Alice is more like an AI than an alien. Where's the humor? Sloppy formatting.
14	Big Sister	13	17	0	30	This reads like someone is simply submiting their short story and claiming it's a play.	Might work better if it was 2 characters and not just a monologue.	Not a play
15	Blobbin'	26	26	20	72	The first one I've read that doesn't feel like it would benefit from some cutting.
16	Embodied	19	24	17	60			This might be good if cut down a bit, though it might also confuse the audience.
17	Errata	18	19	14	51		Galactic Dramaturg lines are overwritten and drag down pace. Intellectual, but not funny enough.
18	Exophilia	26	27	26	79
19	FB-Why?	24	21	14	59	Predatory sex theme might make this one unpalatable to some audience members.	Dated humor.
20	Finding Humor	21	22	21	64			A little slow in the middle and the dialog was confusing in a couple of places.
21	Flip Flops, Pies, and Probes	18	26	25	69			Falls down at the end of the rest is okay.
22	George & Martha on Display	17	21	18	56		Amusing premise. Audience would need to be familiar with "Who's Afraid of Viginia Wolfe to get all the jokes. Feels overwitten.
23	In the Air Duct	21	22	22	65		Better for video than stage.
24	Out of this World	16	20	24	60
25	Reconnaissance	21	26	24	71
26	Star Trek: Human Resources	17	19	20	56		Door joke not feasible for stage. Lengthy dialogue drags down pace.
27	Still Life with Grave Juice	25	25	28	78
28	Strangers	16	16	12	44		4 pages of introduction. Conflict doesn’t appear until more than halfway through. Not enough humor. Barely satisfies theme; could just be 2 weirdos.
29	The Doom From Within	24	15	21	60	Finally, one that doesn't outstay is welcome.
30	The Hireling	19	24	21	64
31	The Intergalactic Mail Order Bride Company	25	26	15	66
32	Tina is Weird	16	19	26	61
33	To Bring You Joy	14	22	12	48		Cute. Meaningful. But funny?
34	Unidentified Frying Object	23	24	22	69
35	Why Did I Marry an Illegal Alien?	19	27	16	62		Funny tight banter.	Too long
