2006 Competition in Review
|
Many of you participated in the SAC sponsored IEEEXtreme 24 hour online programming challenge held on 2 December 2006. Congratulations to team 1 at the Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya in Spain for winning first place in IEEEXtreme 2006! Team 1 from this university scored the highest on the computer programming and the extra point challenges for an extreme total of 829 points. The 2006 program got off to a great start with publicity in IEEE Potentials magazine about the contest. By two days before the competition, 47 teams of IEEE student members or graduate student members signed up for the program – a really good showing for the first year. With the proctors who volunteered their time, we had over 150 participants for the challenge. During the 24 hours, there were 12 problems for the teams to solve. The problems were included in a booklet that was distributed to all the proctors at the start of the competition. There were “extra credit” problems sent every 8 hours to keep interest high. The organization team members included Ricardo Varela, Marko Delimar, Elizabeth Johnston, Laura Durrett and Christine Eldridge. They were all online for 24 hours and were able to field all questions online during the 24 hours of the competition. When the contest ended at GMT 24, all participants logged off sleepily.
