Subject: New Mind Sports Organisation Programming Contest started today


I thought that you might want to share this notice with the members of your
egroup at egroups.com. I did not send it to the group address, just your
address. If you would like this information shared with your "egroup",
please
send it. We sent it only to you so that we wouldn't accidentally spam your
group (if such messages as ours might be against your rules).

Here's the contest notice:

For those of you who are interested in other programming contests, the
December Programming Contest, sponsored by the Mind Sports Organisation in
London, started earlier today. The details are now posted at:

http://msoworld.com/programming.html

The contest started today at 17:00 GMT (London).

This month, as an experiment, we have extended the entry deadline. Entries
will be accepted for a full three weeks. The contest will end 21 days after
the contest started, at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time on January 7, 2001, just a
few days into the new millennium.

If you like this extended entry period, please express your pleasure by
entering our contest. Also, please urge your programmer friends to do the
same thing. If we see a significant increase in participation with this
extended entry period, we can probably talk the people in London into making
this a semi-permanent change to the Mind Sports Organisation programming
contest, and if we really get a large increase in participation, maybe we
can
talk them into hosting a competition at the next Mind Sports Olympiad.
