==Prizes==
TopCoder initially awarded money every week to [[coders]] who did well in the weekly competitions, or Single Round Matches (SRMs). For a while, prize money was only awarded twice a year to winners and finalists of the TopCoder Collegiate Challenge (TCCC, which is in the spring) and the TopCoder Open (formerly the Invitational, which is in the fall). As of [[June 2005]], some weekly SRMs began to once again award prize money, being sponsored by outside companies such as [[Google]] and [[Yahoo!]].
