Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

The top entries will be deconstruced in a future TPR issue. All entries will be posted when the tournament is over. I will repost this URL here when that happens.

Yes, reading through Golf Tournament post-mortems is an extremely effective way to improve your golf game.

However I can see why people who consider "winning" important wouldn't agree with me, so I will bow out of this.

Golf is an individual sport: players hit the balls themselves, and others can't help the player with getting the ball into the hole.

But... others CAN watch the player, imitate him, and learn from his moves. And I think we should encourage that.

I also like to see other people use my ideas, and I don't care much for winning at all. Although I'm not a beginner in Perl, Perl Golf is quite new to me, and I have much to learn.

I would like to post my entry over here :(

Yes, but to keep it inidividually competitive, the watching, imitating and learning (which I highly recommend) must be done after the tournament by reading the post-mortem and discussing the solutions here or on Fun with Perl.

Very sorry. That wasn't a serious thing - hell, I'm nowhere near skilled enough to enter it, that's why I didn't submit it. I just thought it might inspire people to get started. Obviously that was wrong. You can reap my nodes now :)
