The contest is sponsored by Google, but is no longer associated with University of Waterloo CS Club (other than several current and former students still helping to organize it). Please don't contact them for anything regarding the contest. :}
Those who have been participating in the beta will certainly have a jump on those starting from scratch. But also it should be noted that some of the basic game mechanics were changed about 3 weeks ago, including the scoring and objective of the game. So it may not be quite as much of an advantage as it first appears.
