Third round pairings are up. I've had to kick a few more players unfortunately, but hopefully more people will get a game this round.

Hello everybody,
we can finally announce the selected applications from the Google Summer of Code 2011 program. We only had two slots so we had to discard many many really good applications; hopefully next year we will get more slots and more people will be able to participate!

Without further ado, let me present you

Richard "Xeli" Deurwaarder, mentored by nemo, will take care of the Android port
David "dayoung" Young, mentored by unC0Rr, will teach AI how to use the weapons

and they will soon™ write a full introduction on this blog as well as keep us updated with their progress, asking for community feedback! Quoting nemo here, "no pressure or anything, but success of our future participation is all on you"

Finally we want to formward our personal thank you to all the students that participated: without your contribution we could never have such a positive feeback! I hope you all had a great time in the channel and remember that you are welcome to stay with our community and to contribute to the project!

Good luck and let's hope for a positive and enriching summer!

Yes! It's finally here! You have until Tuesday 26th Friday 29th April.

Find pairings and other important information here.

NOTE: If you lost in the first round, you're still in. If you want to withdraw, please let me know, but it's really just a bit of fun... so don't take losing too seriously.

UPDATE: Once again, I've extended the deadline. Deadline is Friday 29th. I'm considering giving you 10 days for each round that follows, instead of just a week.

First round pairings are up. You have until midnight on Sunday 17th, GMT. Find pairings here.

If you haven't already done so, please read the rules (and reread, there's a lot. I thought of everything). Check out this and that.

Also, if you're having trouble contacting your opponent, write something here. That way we know you've at least tried to get your game going.

Good luck, have fun. Play nice.

UPDATE: Due to several games not being played, you now have a couple of extra days. Deadline is Tuesday at midnight.

Dear students willing to apply,
please do so now! You have less than 24 hours to submit you application duly filled; you'll have some time later on this week to improve it and add sections, but make sure to use your slot.
Unfortunately there cannot be any deadline extension; the application must be compiled at Google-Melange portal, the ones posted in the forum are not valide for a successful submission.

Update: 67 applications total! thank you to all paricipants
