Georgia Southern University hosted an excellent programming contest. About seventy teams participated (some were at the University of South Alabama site). Surprisingly, the pickup team won the competition. As a result, the second-place team, from UCF, is going to the world finals in Tokyo. FAU’s most experienced team performed respectably, but will certainly improve next year. Nearly all of our team members will be able to compete again and will benefit from the experience, not to mention that their coach (me) was a rookie as well. I’ve posted some pictures from the competition as well as two other photos that were taken while I was teaching last week.
