Teams from the Plano West and Plano East computer clubs competed in the Cypress Woods programing contest which took place on December 12, 2020. Competing teams consisted of three or less students and were separated into novice and advanced divisions. Teams were allowed a five-hour window for the competition. Each challenge had a pre-determined score of 100 points with binary scoring. For any participant/team who submitted more than one solution per challenge, then the score reflects the highest score achieved. Congratulations to these students:
