The 5 UW teams traveled to the University of Puget Sound to compete in the ACM-ICPC Pacific Northwest Regional Contest, accompanied by Daniel Epstein. We made a very strong showing at the regional, sweeping the top 5 spots of the 14 teams in greater Puget Sound site. The overall region, which spans from British Columbia to Northern California and Hawaii, is more competitive. We placed 3 teams in the top 10 of the region (tied with Stanford for the most in the top 10), with our top team finishing in 5th place. The last time a UW team finished in the top 5 was 2009. Way to go, everyone!
Our five teams were:
Eternal Flame, 5th in the region (Siwakorn Srisakaokul, Jasper Hagunin, & Vladimir Korakov)
Olia in UW, 8th in the region (Aleksander Holynski, Hessam Bagherinezhad, & Alireza Rezaei)
Amgems, 9th in the region (Jeremy Teo, Sherman Pay, & Zachary Iqbal)
Superluminal, 14th in the region (Zehao Sun, Wenbo Cui, & Jingchen Hu)
House Lannister, ?th in the region (Yingkai Wang, David Tran, & Chenfan Sun)
