Solve this puzzle using SudokuPad
Solution code: <Length (in cells) of the winning loop>-<points of winning loop>-<points of losing loop>
To calculate the points for each loop, sum up the values of all the odd-numbered cages they pass through, and then add the values of the even-numbered cages they enclose. The winning loop is the one that obtains more points.
For example: 20-25-12 if the winning loop is 20 cells long and the final result is 25:12

Fun puzzle. The logic of forming loops and deducing the parity was really satisfying, and I liked how the whole puzzle crumbled as soon as the loops were fully formed. Thanks!

Added description on how to calculate the points for each loop in the solution code description. Thanks for pointing that out @StefanSch

Nice puzzle, but ...
I don't like to be forced to use Sudokupad, just to find out the meaning of the solution code.
Lösungscode: Um die Punkte eines Rundweges zu ermitteln, addiere die Werte aller ungerade Käfige, die er durchläuft und den Wert des geraden Käfigs, den er umschließt. Der Rundweg mit der größeren Punktzahl ist der Gewinner.
