Well I could do it all except the CSE stuff, but I doubt I'll ever again have time or drive :P

As stated in your PM, you have been added for all the 8x Grayscale stuff, as well as Nspire Basic. Good luck!

Bumpity Bumpity Bump!

I'll be away for a week for band camp, but I'd like to remind people that you can still sign up by posting in this thread or PM-ing me, preferably the latter. I'd love to see more competitors, so this tournament can be a success. Also please note that if I ever can get a prize for each category winner, I'll make an announcement here that there will be prizes.
I am Bach.

Note that since JWinslow23 started his own contest almost at the same time as yours, it might be hard to get many participants, but I think his contest ends soon, so unless he immediately starts a 2nd round you might be fine. :P

THe issue is that there are currently two other contests going on, sort of, although one set of contests is smaller and not necessarily calc-related. Anyway it would be nice if this was revived :P

Code golf shouldn't interfere with the cage matches. It's open to wide entries, weekly, and doesn't take much time, whereas cage matches will be locked between two people for any given match, and have a longer timespan. I think it would be easy for them to coexist.

If you look at the date, this will start after Contest #12 wraps up. Also that with what will said about code golf.

That said I doubt that Cage Matches will be very long either. Back then, it was mostly stuff like Tunnel games rather than very large games, because the time frame was much shorter than your usual Cemetech or Omni contest.

That said, when Cemetech contest ends there is often an Omni contest starting too anyway :P

Omni tends to be quiet about contests since I left my admin duties, as the new team is less vocal about upcoming stuff (perhaps to avoid giving false hopes if it ever gets delayed or canceled). Usually people wonder if there is even going to be a contest at all. IIRC there will be one, though, but I don't exactly know if it's gonna start immediately after Cemetech's deadline like last year.


Also considering how much hassle it was to ship prizes last year (thanks to stupid USPS regulations against batteries), the potential for issues with underage contestants (parents getting scared of seeing a random package arriving from the Internets in the mail) and international shipments, I'm wondering if the team will go back to 2009-11 contest prizes (which were entirely digital, such as a $100 gift card on iTunes, Newegg or another store of your choice)

Just a reminder: two weeks until sign-ups end and the contest starts! Get ready to rumble!
