Winners of Q3 Playoffs

On 29 November, we held the long-delayed championship playoff for Q3 2010. A total of 62 players participated. You can view the quizzes for the playoff from the Past Quizzes page.

First of all, congratulations to our top-three ranked players:

1st Place: Niels Hecker of Germany, wins US$1000.
2nd Place: Peter Schmidt of Germany, wins US$500.
3rd Place: Elic of Belarus, wins Complete set of O'Reilly Media Oracle eBooks.

Players ranked 4 through 10 each win their choice an O'Reilly ebook. All players will receive a certificate of participation.

All players rankings are shown below. The information shown in each line is:

Ranking (Weighted Score): Name (country) - # quizzes completed) in (Time) - % correct

You may notice that Niels has a higher weighted score than Peter, even though they have the same % correct and Peter finished in less time. That's because the weighted score is calculated on a per-quiz basis, and is affected by the difficulty of the question.

Again, congratulations to everyone who made it to the playoffs and who play the PL/SQL Challenge with diligence and seriousness.

Warm regards,
Steven Feuerstein
