For all you Ping Pong enthusiasts, ACM is now running an improved Ping Pong ladder. Experience Trueskill based ranking and matchmaking, the Bayesian Ranking system behind the successful Xbox Live ladder system.

Special Props to Alexi Pors, head of the Game Development Group, for his Trueskill game logic engine.

ACM is please to announce that we have a new ACM chair apprentice, Paul Croft! Paul is currently a sophomore in the CS department. Paul has graciously taken on the stagnated Cabinet Project, our attempt to get a web page running for the CF405 snack cabinet.

ACM is always looking for students to help take on part of a project for the club. Follow in Paul's footsteps and help make your club better!
