Re: SUDO

Sorry about the last-minute change, apologies for that. Confirming that this will be officially rescheduled to 11/5, since I don't have a way to run it this Sunday. I will still be online to run tomorrow as a shootout so that option is available, but I definitely understand a full tournament would b...

Re: JAVA 2022: JAVASCRIPT

I'm still trying to scrounge up more moderators. If I can, the format will be doubles - if I can't, I'll ask people to merge teams. This will be finalized and an email sent out by 10 EST tonight.

There are 8 packets and I'm planning to begin at 12 PM tomorrow - so this should not go past 6 PM.
