So it appears I wasn’t paying enough attention to my email back in the middle of last year. Unlike usual when top coder announces it is opening registrations a couple of months before the contest starts, this time it decided to open registrations the middle of the year before!
So I got a reminder email today, registration is open and surprise – round 1A is this weekend. Guess I will need to quickly muster my ability to stay awake and conscious at 3am in the morning once more. I should probably start trying to do these competitions in c++, but with this little notice I think I will be using c# again this year.
Since I had been surprised by the sudden appearance of the top coder open – I went and double checked – GCJ13 registrations don’t open for another 3 and a half weeks. Not that I will be eligible to compete this time!
