Abstract
Programming contests can provide a high­profile
method for attracting interest in computer science. We
describe our philosophy as it pertains to the purpose and
merits of programming contests as well as their imple­
mentation. We believe that we have successfully com­
bined the theoretical and practical aspects of computer
science in an enjoyable contest in which many people
can participate.
