[RTK-tekmovalci] USACO March competition

[Nino Bašić]

**** USACO CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT *****

Both the 2007 USACO March Elite competition and the 2007 USACO
March Level 1 competition are in progress:

		http://contest.usaco.org

The Elite competition will be **THREE HOURS** in length in total.
The Level 1 competition will be *55 MINUTES* in length in total.

This and all subsequent contests will be available until earlier
on Tuesday morning than previously so that we can get the results
out in a more timely manner.

Read the rules at the contest site if you've never read them.

Results will probably be available by noon USA Mountain Time on
Thursday, March 22 at:

        http://ace.delos.com/MAR07results
and     http://ace.delos.com/MAR07LEVEL1results

No special announcement about the results will be sent.

First-timers should consider doing the 'test' program from the USACO
training pages at

           http://train.usaco.org

(to reinforce I/O skills) before trying the real contest (really
-- this is not an idle suggestion).

Future contest schedule:
   * 26    Apr, 2007 -- US Open for USA and proctored international students
   * 27-30 Apr, 2007 -- US Open for all unproctored students
   * Early Jun, 2007 -- USA Invitational Competition (~8 days, by invitation)
   * 15-22 Aug, 2007 -- IOI, Zagreb, Croatia (by invitation)

I will send proctoring information in mid-April.

Doing very well on an elite contest will earn an invitation to the
next higher division. Many students move up through the season.
