The Waterloo Black team of Tyson Andre (1A SE), Brian Bi (1A CS), and Hanson Wang (2A CS) finished first out of 112 teams from 56 universities and colleges competing in the ACM East Central North America Regional Programming Contest on October 23. Winning this contest earns the team a spot at the 2011 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest World Finals to be held in early March in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Waterloo Black finished ahead of runners up Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Waterloo's other two teams, Gold (Minghao Dai, John Liu, and Aurick Qiao) and Red (Felix Fung, Justin Simpson, Robert Xiao), finished 8th and 16th, respectively. The next best Canadian teams were Brock University in 10th place, York University in 12th place, and the University of Toronto in 17th place. The complete results can be found on the ACM international collegiate programming contest website.
