Subject: ACM Programming Contest
I wanted to share results for the Pacific Northwest Programming
Contest that was held today. We compete in a region that stretches
from southern California up to Canada and over to Hawaii. The contest
is held at five different sites simultaneously. Marty Stepp and I
traveled with our three teams to the University of Oregon in Eugene to
compete.
As usual, our particular site had the most teams and we dominated our
site. We placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd among the 22 teams from Washington
and Oregon competing at the University of Oregon. And we had our best
showing ever in the region. UW teams placed 5th and 6th in the region
out of 77 teams total. Those two teams placed above all the teams
from Berkeley and Simon Fraser who are normally very tough
competitors. They were beaten only by teams from UBC, Stanford, and
the University of Victoria.
Our teams were:
Team Captcha (1st at site, 5th in region):
Jeff Booth, Michael Sloan, Will Johnson
Firefighter Endorsed (2nd at site, 6th in region):
Joshua Snyder, Kevin Wallace, Alyssa Harding
Three Bytes Deficient (3rd at site, 23rd in region):
Steven Howard, Conrad Meyer, Tyler Smith
Please join me in congratulating them for their outstanding performance.
