The 2010 competition is now open for team registration. We are delaying the release of Group 1 puzzles until next week to allow people to concentrate on the MUMS Puzzle Hunt (not affiliated with CiSRA), which is happening this week.

Puzzle Week this year is 17-21 May. We still have to confirm the date for team registration and release of Group 1 puzzles, and also what this year's prizes will be. We are also pleased to announce a new challenge for individual puzzlers: Iron Brain. This is an opt-in mode for teams of exactly one person, who pledge to work with no help from any other person. There are no additional prizes for Iron Brains, apart from the prestige of tackling the competition without the help of team-mates and the possibility of being crowned the first Iron Brain Champion.

The CiSRA Puzzle Competition is definitely on again for 2010, CiSRA's 20th anniversary year. We have a few surprises in store, but are still in the planning stages at the moment. The likely dates will be some time around April/May. The 2009 Competition will be moved to the archive soon and the site refreshed for 2010, but we thought we'd announce the good news as soon as we could.
