We would like to facilitate the participation of US programs in every way we can. July 4th is celebrated only for one day in the US (mainly consisting of barbecues :) so it shouldn't cause a major problem (BTW, Americans in Israel will feel at home on 4th of July, as there are many Americans here celebrating the day). Apparently Crafty is not going to take part in any WCCC any time soon. But if there are American programmers who would like to take part, but are not comfortable with the starting date, then please let us know. > >> >>We hope that these arrangements will facilitate the participation of US >>programmers in the WCCC next year. >> >> >> >>>MH >>> >>> >>>> >>>>Roberto/.
