Hi Josh,

If the rules say tyr, it's tyr.  At first it was mansfield, I'm not sure why the change.  David has put a lot of work into organizing the contest, so he must have had some reason.

As for software, we're looking into that.  I think we should add as a recommendation to the rules that teams send their language of choice in the registration e-mail.
