Brazil here we come

I just received some great news - my team has won the imagine cup.  This means we will be on stage at VSLive (free trip to Toronto), get 3000$, and get a free trip to Brazil to compete in the world competition.  See below for an abstract of our entry and the team members:

Game.Set.Match. – Tournament Planner

Wouldn’t it be great if all the hassles of organizing, participating and following an amateur sporting event such as a tennis tournament disappeared?  Game.Set.Match enables tournament data to be administered via a cell phone and available in real time to participants and fans through either the web or msn-style alerts.  Did the weather suddenly change and the schedule now needs adjusting?  Is the tournament running on schedule?  What is the score of my son or daughters match?  Game.Set.Match allows tournament administrators to distribute this type of information which until now was only available in professional tournaments.  Game.Set.Match. aids tournament administrators in creating a tournament schedule based on online registration and attempts to learn the game styles of the participants for faster future administration of tournaments. 

Team:

Mike Flasko

Elisa Johnson

Jason Kemp

Tyler Holmes

More about the competition and our trip to Toronto soon ....maybe even some pictures :)

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
