Thanks a lot to organizers. It very, very cool challenge. At last 2 hours, GreenTea was in 1st place, and I really think, that he wins the challengle (because he is from Ukraine, like me). But this didn't happen xathis was fine too

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all contestants! Thanks for big fun

[Janzert]

Thanks everyone. I hope not only that everyone had fun; but also that you were able to learn a little something along the way too.

there is no country rankings and organization rankings on the front page

I am also waiting for the country/organization rankings. The pages http://ants.aichallenge.org/country_rankings.php and http://ants.aichallenge.org/organization_rankings.php still display the messages “Here are the participating countries ranked by number of entries in the top 200. Rankings are not available at the moment. Check back soon!” and “Here are the participating organizations ranked by number of entries in the top 100.Rankings are not available at the moment. Check back soon!”
And They are not linked with the Ants home page.
I'm sure that there are many other contestants (even though they are not in the top 100 or 200) and even many non-contestants who are interested in this, are waiting to see how their country/organization ranked.

Hope contest organizers will update these pages soon with the rankings.

P.S.
I just calculated the country rankings by no of bots in top 200 with a script and the json file. I would like to share it here for those who are interested, until the official ranks are released.
(The number next to the country is the no of bots in top 200 of that country and the number in parenthesis is the global rank of the top bot of the country.)
