Outputs

Claude Opus 4.7 8/10
Even though it was pouring, the squad chose to press on with their outdoor session, since the title match was just 72 hours off and they badly needed more time to get ready.
Judge notes: "72 hours off" is a slightly awkward stylistic choice that feels more technical than natural for this context, but overall the rewrite is clean, meaning-preserving, and structurally varied.
Claude Haiku 4.5 7/10
Even though it was raining heavily, the squad chose to push forward with their outside workout since the big match was coming up in just three days and they required additional training time.
Judge notes: The rewrite is functional and preserves meaning, but "big match" softens "championship game" and "outside workout" feels slightly awkward compared to "outdoor practice," introducing minor tone drift.
GPT-5.4 7/10
Although it was raining heavily, the team chose to keep practicing outside since the championship was just three days away and they urgently needed the additional preparation.
Judge notes: The rewrite closely mirrors the original structure and word choices ("three days away," "needed the additional preparation") without truly recasting the sentence in fresh wording, barely meeting the "no more than two consecutive words" spirit.
Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning 8/10
Even with the downpour, the squad opted to press on with outside drills since the title match loomed just three days out and they urgently required more training time.
Judge notes: The rewrite is clean and accurate, but "title match loomed just three days out" is slightly awkward phrasing that I'd consider smoothing before production use.
