CodeWars PyCon-au 2010
Hosted By: Dylan Jay (PretaWeb Australia)
 |
Eight teams, onstage knockout rounds of short programming bouts, loud crowd.. mildly impressive prizes. Any language allowed, no holds bared. Think of it like UFC for coders.

Originally based on an idea from the book PeopleWare, CodeWar has been run in conjunction with the Sydney WebDU conference since 2008 with great success. To help share the mayhem we're proud to bring CodeWar to PyCon-au 2010, with experienced CodeWar compare Robin Hilliard from RocketBoots on the microphone to keep a wry eye on proceedings.
All comers welcome -- no conference ticket required. Come to compete or just come to watch. RSVP now!

Tourney Rules
The competition will consist of three rounds:
- 8 teams of 3-5 people
- 1 laptop per team connected to projector on stage
- Rounds are first-past-the-post simple programming challenges
- Any language you want...as long as you think you can code it faster than python
We guarantee this won't be mind twisting problems for algorithm heads. It will help to have a team with a mix of skills, a clever and/or intimidating team name and vocal cheer squad.
For example: "Here is the complete text of pride and prejudice on this usb key. Be the first to print out the 7th and 25th sentances that contain both 'Elizabeth'and 'Darcy'"
If you're registering a team, RSVP and say you're bringing a team in the RSVP form (only the team leader should do this). Don't forget to bring your team and single laptop on the day.
If all the team slots are gone register your standby team in case of a no-show.
