The tl;dr of Day 1

After 5.5(!) hours filled with panic and mayhem with the grading system collapsing after 90 mins of competition, we finally finished day 1 and had no idea what our scores were. The leaders endured 3 mighty hours of discussion in the General Assembly (GA) meeting discussing how to change the contest to be fair to everyone, but the end result is that the results from Day 1 will stand!

Australia 1 faired very, very well yesterday; the best we have seen from day 1 in a few years. Both Michael/GP and Ray did exceptionally well, both within the top 20. James and Ishraq also sit in good positions to take out medals.

Australia 2 also did remarkably well given the circumstances for which we had not trained, with everyone scoring points; a non-trivial task in the pandemonium!

Let's hope we can all keep up the good work for tomorrow (Day 2) and see if Aus1 can bring home some medals!

Go 'Straya!
