We were 2nd overall and North American Champions in the 2000 World Finals.
Results as announced at the awards ceremony. Medal Standings.
Note (1): In the 2000 competition, for the first time, medals were awarded - Gold for all
teams solving the most questions; Silver for all teams solving the
next most; Bronze for all teams solving the next most.
Note (2): Due to a judging error on problem F, some teams were awarded
credit for one question a month after the contest. The rankings [sic] were adjusted
so that teams awarded this credit were moved up, but no team moved down.
As a result, the University of Melbourne was awarded a 2nd place tie with Waterloo
while Caltech and Charles U. moved to 9th and 10th (for a total of 12 in
the top 10). Various rearrangements and renumberings were also applied.
