The CS Games
A team of seven URCS undergraduate students attended the CS Games
Competition on March 3-5, 2006 at the École de Technologie
Superieure in
Montreal, Quebec. (
See Results) As one of 33 teams participating in the international
competition, we had representatives in each of 14 events. Our team
excelled in Xtreme Programming, Algorithms, Debugging and several other
categories, but it was our consistent placing in the top ten on almost
all events that eventually gave the team the first place trophy. The
UR team, self-named "Leeroy Jenkins" after a popular video game
reference, included seniors Will deBeaumont, David Lu, Mike Rotondo, and
David Sloan, and juniors Harry Glaser, Daniel Mullowney, and Tom
O'Neill. Each student competed in a variety of events and contributed
significantly to the win. The trophy CS Cup, much like the Stanley Cup
in hockey, stayed the winning team until the next year's competition.
We hope that it will return again this year.
On March 9-11, we will send another two teams to Montreal for CS Games
2007.
