On January 10th 2010, we witnessed the awesomest programming teams from campuses all over India battle it out in person at our Mumbai headquarters of Directi. 639 teams of three each, had registered for the CodeChef Campus SnackDown to be crowned as the best coders in the country. The first round of the SnackDown took place on 21st November 2009. We then flew the top 7 teams from various corners of India to Mumbai to prove their mettle.

I was most excited with the results – the winning team comprised of the youngest programmers of the lot – three juniors in their 2nd and 3rd year at IIIT Hyderabad, who overtook their mentors and seniors and took the first place :) . You will find details about the winners and a recap of the events in the codechef blog post here
