New Zealand! (1988-89)

The team New Zealand! was a composite team made up from the top two New Zealand programming contest teams. The Auckland team was from AIT and had come first in the New Zealand competition. The Otago University team had come second. An invitation to compete in the ACM finals was secured for a New Zealand team to enter. Since the ACM competition then had teams of four, the two top teams from New Zealand were entered as one team. This team, with the name New Zealand!, was placed a very credible 10th at the ACM finals.
