What adjudicating team do you need? The fact that the plaintext can be 
created from the ciphertext is sufficient to prove the brute force attack.

Publishing the plaintext (or a link to it) here here would be proof of 
the success of the bruteforce attack.

To put it another way, if all you supply me with is the ciphertext and I 
can publish the plaintext, then obviously the cipher has failed!
