In the overall classification for the entire camp, the Warsaw University team took second place. According to the
University of Warsaw spokeswoman Anna Korzekwa, the members of the winning team were: Tomasz
Kulczyński, Jakub Pachocki, Wojciech Śmietanka. The camp was attended by 51 teams representing 28
universities and colleges, including 10 from outside the Russian Federation. "For many teams the training camp
was an important step in preparations for the World Finals of the ACM-ICPC International Collegiate
Programming Contest, which will be held in Warsaw on 14-18 May 2012. Odds in this contest are on teams from
Russia and the University of Warsaw" - explained the University of Warsaw spokeswoman. The decision to grant
the University of Warsaw the right to host the the University of Warsaw was announced in May last year. The
