Wow! I'm up for that. Co-ordinatiing a group within a 24 hour period over the internet will be a bit a nightmare though... I think there would need to a be a geekup.

Dude, I think we have the capability. We have people from every time zone around the world. We could probably field a team that would compete well in that competition.

It'd be interesting to take part. One of the rules seem odd...

Once my internet gets back up I'm interested in joining the team if you need more people.

I can sign up a team if you'd like. I am probably not going to have a lot of time to commit to coding, though, so maybe someone else can sign up a PHPDN team. I don't really care. It would be nice to have a PHPDN team represented though.

The signup page is at http://phpthrowdown.com/?page_id=6

Well then, lets sign up. Like I said, I can not commit that much time to the competition, but with the power we have here, someone should be able to should some part of the load throughout the 24 hour period.
