The Canadian Computing Competition saw a modest increase in participation this

year over last year. We are indebted to the many teachers who provided the opportunity and assistance to their students to participate in the contest. I would particularly like to express my appreciation to the teachers involved in the grading of the
competition. Without their participation it would not be possible to allow the Stage
1 competitors the variety of platforms and programming languages that we currently allow them to use in the competition.
Again this year, we have experienced unacceptable delays in returning information
to schools about Stage 1 outcomes. We will be instituting more changes next year
to correct this problem.
The first, and perhaps the most significant, change is in the registration cost,
which will be lowered to $5.00 per student. Along with this a medal will be provided to the top competitor in each division in each school, provided the competitor achieves a score higher than a cutoff score. The cutoff score will be determined
by the scores on the competition.
Congratulations to all competitors for their participation in the competition.
Comments about the problems and their solutions will appear on the website in the
near future.
