And just in case you happen to possess a disposition to end your
sentences with semi-colons in place of full-stops, you're at the right place.
Actually, it doesn't matter too much if you don't, for we bring you here a
programming contest that shall provide experienced coders a stage to fight
it out amongst the best in the world while also serving to provide beginners
an interesting experience and an exposure to competitive programming
contests.

     OPC has been an integral part of Shaastra since 2006 and has been widely
growing ever since. Over the last two years, there have been more than
1000 participants battling it out in this contest. So step right up, folks,
whether you just compiled your first 'Hello World' a couple of months
ago or you've been there and seen it all. And as they have always said,
gentlemen, efficiency matters the most. (And we are sorry, not even a box
of Swiss chocolates matters more than efficiency, though it would be highly
appreciated)

1. It's an online team event. Each team can consist of a maximum of 3
participants.
2. Participants will have to register with the online judge before taking part.
3. There will be one practice round before the actual contest, which is aimed
at familiarizing the participants with the (online) judge and the interface.
The performance in the practice round will not affect final standings.
4. Participants have to submit source code of their solutions.

Exact date and duration of the event will be put up shortly. Expect it to be
around a week preceding Shaastra 2010.
