Google AI challenge - status?

About one month ago there was some discussion regarding entering an LW team in the Google AI challenge.

Has anyone actually entered? If so, what was the result? I scanned carefully the leaderboard, but could not find any familiar names.

I had a brief foray into the top fifty, but now I'm down in the 140's. I really haven't found much time to work on it. Hopefully I can get my act together before the 18th...

I submitted an extremely simplistic algorithm that is currently ranked 733.

I'm in there, with an embarrassingly bad entry ranked in the mid-2K's, barely an improvement on the tutorial bot.

For context when people post their scores, how many entries are there approximately?

Currently, around 7,000.

FYI your rank could be a lot lower in the final competition than it is now because most of the best bots only play on the TCP servers.
