Subject: [cs-ugrads] UW Qualifier for the ACM ICPC 2019
To: <cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu>, <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>
Hi all, The UW Qualifier for the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) has been scheduled! It will take place on Saturday October 26th, 9:30am in CSE 002. The top teams from UW will advance to the regional contest held November 9th at the University of Puget Sound. The top teams from around the region will qualify for the ICPC World Finals, this year in Moscow, Russia!
The contest itself is a lot of fun–you get to test your problem-solving skills on a set of algorithmic problems, eat free food, and compete for Google-sponsored prizes!
If you’re interested in learning more, I’m hosting an information meeting on Monday, October 21st at 3:30pm in CSE 674. If you’re interested, please register a team of three people here. If you’d like to compete but are looking for teammates, you can put your name here to find others. The final deadline to register is Wednesday, October 23rd at 5pm.
TLDR with important dates:
- Monday, October 21, 3:30pm in CSE 674: information meeting (optional, but recommended for people who haven’t competed before)
- Wednesday, October 23, 5pm: final deadline to register a team (link)
- Saturday, October 26, 9:30am in CSE 002: event starts
Additional information:
- To be eligible, you basically must either be born in/after 1996, or begin your undergrad study in/after 2015. See full details here.
- See tasks from last year’s regional contest here.
Finally, there’s a Facebook event for the contest! Invite your friends!
Sorawee and Victor
