Firstly, I would like to introduce three new teams to the community, the 5 Minnett KMs, the State Library Speed Readers and the TAL Trailblazers. The Corporate Cup welcomes these teams to the competition.
There has also been a name change with DEITies now being Policy on the Run.
Secondly, for those that were having issues accessing the Corporate Cup website, new security certificates have been installed and the website should be viewable from corporate computers. A big thank you to Champ for all his efforts.
