That is exactly what happened. You got 1% extra mark if somebody picked your code. Seemed trivial at the beginning of semester,right? ...did I mention my team had previous real life experience? We put extrnsive code and documentation and FAQs online (this was like 99 or 2001 don't remember, but we'll before Github etc) , and committed to 7 day support of our code base. We got 18 out of 22 picks after phase 1. Of course competition was much stiffer further phases, but that too was like 3 valuable real world lessons learned for everybody!
