The Contest needs MORE volunteers. Please consider helping if you are available in any of the following areas:

• Registrar

  Set up Central Contest Web pages (fill in appropriate names and dates for the region), collect and deposit fees, print badges and certificates

• Web Master

  Maintain the Regional Contest Web pages - most of the activity is a month or so before the contest and a few days after

• Judge

  Write and solve problems to challenge the teams in this Region - meet 6-8 times three months prior to the Contest; work during the Contest judging problems and answering questions.

• Operations

  Maintain and enhance the contest environment software (team effort); setup the environment prior to the Contest

• T-shirt coordinator

  Work with the existing supplier (they're great) and the Registrar to coordinate ordering and distributing t-shirts (IBM provides the artwork; we are required to use their artwork on the front and can choose to use their artwork or design our own for the back)

• Media contact

  We've never had one before, but someone to "alert the media" to the Contest

Students who have the time can perform any of the above tasks that do not directly involve the contest environment or problem set. If you are interested, please contact the Contest Director, <director@socalcontest.acm.org> .
