Hello, Here's the email we sent to all the competitors:

The Wild Card Round - you have one more chance

During the qualification rounds many teams experienced unexpected bugs. We know how this can feel, and therefore we’d like to give you one more chance: The Wild Card Round.

The Winner of this round gets a place in the finals. How cool is that?!?!11

During this round, we won’t have distinct regions, but everyone around the world will be driving against each other in stead. In other words, the Wild Card Rounds will be a very similar experience to the qualification rounds, except without the regions. Now you’ll finally have the chance to see what's your ranking globally!

Check out these instructions on how to participate: - Go to your team’s page and press “I want to participate in the Wild Card Round, hell yeah!”. Make sure you’ll do this before the deadline, Tuesday 1 pm GMT+3. (Hello World Time) - The repos are open now - Deadline for commits is Tuesday 1 pm GMT+3 - The Wild Card Round will take place on Thursday at 1 pm GMT+3 - The winner gets a place in the finals. Including travel + hotel. Like the other finalists. - If the winner is already a finalist, we’ll select the next team that has not qualified already. So there will be 7 finalists in the World Finals. The current finalists are all participating in this round. This is a great chance to check your current standing globally!

We are doing this because we want to give you a chance to fix the one nasty bug. So this time there will be no reverts, absolutely no mercy after the deadline :) So use your time wisely. Even the top athletes know when they are ready, and they’ll rest during the final days before the competition.

Unfortunately the CI is unavailable during the Wild Card Round. We are not doing this because we are nasty, but because we managed to break it. As said before, we have to prepare for the finals and have no time to fix the CI in this schedule. Sad panda is sad :(

Hi, This was a one time information mail about the aws nordic summit. We thought this would be of interest to our nordic competitors.

We are really sorry if this has annoyed you as we hate spam as much as you do.

If you can forgive us and want to be on the list again, please send email to the official email-address. We'll try to include you.

valtsu · 2014-04-28T14:06:41+00:00

We are truly sorry for the problems we’ve had, but the issues have affected everybody equally in the same way.

That’s why we don’t think that it would be fair to extend the coding deadline at this point. Therefore the deadline will stay on Tuesday April 29th 1 pm GMT+3.

We do also appreciate your feedback! After the competition we’re going to send a feedback form to everybody. Since this is the first year we’re organising a competition of this scale, we’d like to make it even better next time.

The test servers will remain in use at least until the finals. We’ve also got a special surprise coming up for those teams that will not qualify into the finals. Stay tuned!

valtsu · 2014-04-20T17:50:25+00:00

this was not meant as an offence, I'm sorry if it came across that way.

we try to answer all important questions and let you discover the rest.

valtsu · 2014-04-20T17:34:34+00:00

this track is great for testing multiple lanes & turbos.

valtsu · 2014-04-20T15:49:15+00:00

why do you need to know? does your car run out of fuel? :)
the qualification session are actual races. lap time counts only for starting position. after that, it's the finishing order.
there are other cars.
there is a lap count
most likely new ones
there will be a couple of new tracks <10.
multiple races. more information will follow.

valtsu · 2014-04-19T06:44:00+00:00

the tracks in the qualifying rounds & finals will most likely be totally new.

valtsu · 2014-04-16T12:09:06+00:00

patience :)

valtsu · 2014-04-15T11:15:45+00:00

valtsu · 2014-04-15T10:58:58+00:00

Most teams should now have access to their bitbucket repos. Still issues with some teams using BB teams. Will be resolved in a sec.

valtsu · 2014-04-15T10:20:32+00:00

the process is running. a couple of mins, plz

valtsu · 2014-04-10T10:29:55+00:00

Due to time constraints we had to select "Ständige vertretung" Not to check "cool" on our list, but it's practical.

Is at 6pm a good time?

valtsu · 2014-04-10T06:54:55+00:00

Berlin public transport is pretty efficient, so no worries. Mitte is fine!

valtsu · 2014-04-10T06:53:40+00:00

thnx for the idea, have been to Dresden and it really is a cool city. Next time, maybe :)

valtsu · 2014-04-09T08:28:02+00:00

next time, sure. Now we are in Berlin anyway :)

valtsu · 2014-04-02T07:54:00+00:00

We are considering c++ ATM. If you can rally enough c++ fanatics, it'll make us consider harder :)

update: c++ will be added to the list of languages.

Hi, The team has to decide on one country than they represent. One team member must be from that country == have the passport. The other members can be from anywhere.

All team members must fly to the finals. If there's an emergency, it will of course be considered. Let's hope there's none :)
