Getting Ready For Regionals

I've been playing with JCreator as I'm preparing for this weekend.  This will be my first programming competition, so I'm not really sure what to expect.  I've studied all of the previous problems, some of which are pretty tough, and I'm glad the rest of my team are great coders.).

Too bad C# isn't an option, but hey, Java is close enough, right

If anyone has any advice or experience with programming competitions, I would love to hear it.

Good luck on your competition, ACM is a load of fun (went to the world finals last year in Hollywood, although we did it with C++ ;)). The only advice I can give to you is to give up everything you know about good coding and good style, and just hack at the problems. The code doesn't have to be pretty, and it doesn't even necessarily have to be correct, it just hs to pass the tests in a few seconds. Have fun, it's something you'll miss later when you've gone and graduated.
