TCO03 Did You Know?

tomek made his first appearance in Topcoder competitions just 3 months before the start of the tournament and he came out on top. His first of many.

The tournament still had only one track of competition but that soon changes!

TCO03 had SnapDragon, Pops, Mathijs, and may other all time greats!
