Results of First-ever SQL Championship for 2013

You will find below the rankings for the first ever 2013 SQL championship.

Congratulations first and foremost to our top-ranked players:

1st Place: Vincent Malgrat of French Republic

2nd Place: Christoph Hillinger of Austria

3rd Place: Tony Winn of Australia

Next, congratulations to everyone who played in the championship. I hope you found it entertaining, challenging and educational. And for those who were not able to participate in the championship, you can take the quizzes next week through the Practice feature. We will also make the championship as a whole available as a Test, so you can take it just like these 39 players did.

And special thanks must go out to Kim Berg Hansen for writing these challenging quizzes and to Vitaliy Lyanchevskiy (a.k.a., Elic) for his thorough reviews. No objections were reported on these quizzes, and that was due entirely to the deep technical skills and attention to detail of both Kim and Vitaliy. 

Warm regards,
Steven Feuerstein
