To elaborate a little, since several people have asked this:

In an ideal world, all games should be judged on the same premises,
regardless of how they were written. However, for fairness' sake, you
have to play all the games in a category before you're allowed to
vote. There are quite a few prospective judges who don't have access
to systems that support TADS but do support Inform (most notably the
Acorn Archimedes). To allow these people at least to vote on the Inform
games, Whizzard decided to split the competition into two categories.
