Last weekend, the Slovenian part of the 24-hour virtual world programming competition IEEEXtreme took place at UM FERI for the second time. At the same time, Slovenian teams competed with teams from all over the world in a single 24 hour long world competition, while the overall ranking was also updated live.
Among the registered teams from Slovenia, the first place was achieved by the GitPull team (Mitko Nikov, Alen Granda, Aljaž Žel - all three students of Computer Science and Information Technologies study program), which also achieved an excellent result among the teams in the IEEE Region 8 (34th place out of 1762 teams) and ranked as "Top 100" in the world rankings of this competition, in 83rd place out of 6373 teams. This result is comparable to the last year's ranking of the BSD team, which ranked 25th in the region out of 1288 teams.

Slovenian vice-champions became the CoffeeBreak team (Martin Domajnko, Jakob Kordez - students of Computer Science and Information Technologies study program), who ranked 160th in region 8 or to the 659th place in the world. The third place in Slovenia was taken by the NaN team (Jure Dolar, Tim Prapotnik - also students of students of Computer Science and Information Technologies study program), which ranked 202nd in IEEE Region 8 or 769th place in the world. When the CoffeeBreak team solved its 3rd task, it was even ranked 17th in the world for a while. For a while, all teams were below the 300th place. All three teams competed under the mentorship of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aleš Zamuda. Jani Dugonik, who also heads the IEEE student branch of the University of Maribor, helped with promotion and organization of the event.
