Complete quiz successfully, get e-mail for being accepted and you'll be asked if you have the game or not. If not:

the selected entrant must have installed on his/her computer the Jungle Seizure map and the game Far Cry 2 and must have access to the internet. Selected entrants will not be required to purchase either the map or game, however the map is available for free download via the Website and if a selected entrant does not have a copy of the game, he/she can download one (1) free copy of the game at any time prior to the applicable Developer Challenge Night by following the instructions for free game download that will be provided in the e-mail notifying him/her of his/her selection as a selected entrant.

So, last night was the night (My scheduled match.) Unfortunately for unknown reasons I was unable to connect to the server that I was instructed to join. I was there at the right time with the correct password but still I just got a nice error message: "Cannot join this match at this time. Please try again later.". Something wasn't set up right, the server was soppousedly located somewhere in Montreal, but for some reason the ping for the server was 9999

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I sent them an e-mail explaining what had happened and asking whether the competition took place or not. As far as I could tel, only the two devs were on the server. I guess I'll just have to wait for a reply.
