acmqueue Launches Online ICPC Programming Challenge for All Readers
http://queue.acm.org/icpc/index.cfm

On January 11, 2010, acmqueue launched an online programming competition
based on the 2009 ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition
(ICPC) Challenge.

The Queue ICPC Challenge applies the rules used in the ACM ICPC Challenge,
however the Queue competition is open to all acmqueue readers and not just
university students.

The 2010 Queue ICPC Challenge problem is a simple game called Capture.
Participants code "players" in C++, C# or Java, and then submit them to
compete in a tournament with other players.

In the past week we've had over 300 people register and now have 30 active
players.

The challenge closes February 7 so there's still plenty of time to submit
your code and participate in our nightly matches.

For more information on how to participate, go to the Queue ICPC Challenge page.
