PDF version suitable for printing.

On Saturday, October 23, 2010, the CS department's UMaine 1 team, with members Sean Edwards, Avner Maiberg and Emma Strubell, finished second in the preliminary competition and qualified to compete in the Northeast Regional Finals of the International ACM Programming Competition.

The UMaine 2 team, with members Mike Chasson and Joshua Komusin, was hampered by having only two members because of a very last minute scratch, nevertheless solved several of the problems at the competition.

The complete standings of the 14 teams that competed are:

  1. McGill
  2. UMaine 1
  3. UMass (Amherst) 1
  4. Siena 1
  5. UMass 2
  6. Siena 2
  7. Trinity 1
  8. Siena 3
  9. Trinity 2
  10. McGill 2
  11. Fairfield
  12. Plymouth State
  13. UMass 3
  14. UMaine 2

The UMaine Computer Science Department is extremely proud of the efforts put forward by both of our teams, especially since they were organized just a week before the competition and did not have much prep time. This is the first time in many years that UMaine has fielded a team for the International ACM Programming Competition.
