Seems like they're confused about their own news releases. According to their technical FAQ, they put sidwinder on the net and issued an "open challenge" to all hackers, and no one got in. In this news release, they claimed it wouldn't be on the net until after the 11th.
No, as I understand it, they are two separate challenges. The first one was to challenge anyone/everyone to break into a Sidewinder site. This challenge has been deemed unsuccessful by the folx at sidewinder.com. That challenge is now over. The current (or rather future) challenge is given initial access to a Sidewinder host, to penetrate another Sidewinder host on their local network. -- William McVey CS Department Purdue University
