LAST PROGRAMMER STANDING

For this Academic Year, Geosef Uy and Ryan Yao led the three organizations and shared similar perspectives regarding the outcome of the event:

As a tradition, La Salle Computer Society (LSCS), The Society of Proactive Role Models Inspiring Total Development (SPRINT), and Peer Tutors Society (PTS) collaborate annually to usher one of the most exciting events that many competitive CCS students look forward to, the Last Programmer Standing. The Last Programmer Standing is a coding competition where participants are formed in teams of two and are divided into

categories Freshman, Sophomore, Junior/Senior, and Competitive Programming League (or CPL).

They are given a set of questions and try to solve as many as they can in two hours. Challenges periodically occur between the time limits, and failure to accomplish these challenges will result to a reduced coding time penalty. The winners and runners-up of each division will win cash prizes.

“I felt that the event was successful, not only because of the heads, but also because of the efforts of the volunteers to make the event flow as fluid as possible.”

Geosef Uy Project Head, AVP Academics

“I think the outcome was successful; I feel satisfied about it because almost everything went according to plan and there were very little mistakes made.”

Ryan Yao Project Head, AVP Academics

Last Programmer Standing was held successfully last November 7th at the Multipurpose Hall on the 20th floor of the Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC Building. The participants and volunteers this year expressed the same outlook as Uy and Yao.
