ACM Programming Contest - Canberra Site
Each year in the middle of second semester the departments and schools across Australia and New Zealand take part in the South Pacific Regional Contest for the ACM Programming Contest. The ACM Programming Contest is sponsored by IBM and involves a field of thousands of teams competing in regional contests held from September to December 2008 world-wide. The very best teams from the regional contests are selected to attend the World Final. The team that does the best in Australia will be sent to the finals which will be in Alberta Canada next year!!!
The Canberra Site is hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the Australian National University.
We are part of the South Pacific Region. This site has a lot of useful information such as :
Recently we have only had teams enter from the ANU, however, it would be great to have teams enter from UC, CIT, and ADFA. For details of entering a team please go to the South Pacific Region web pages.
The date for the 2008 ACM South Pacific Region's contest is Saturday the 13th September. And will be in the ground floor of the CSIT Building, Building 108, North Road, ANU. The contest will start at 12:00noon. However, teams will need to arrive at 11:00am to: have a practice of using the problem submission system, go over the rules, and eat something before the contest gets under way.
