FAQ
Do I need a full team of three to sign up?
No. You can register with fewer than three people, and we can help match you with other participants, or you can choose to participate solo or as a team of two.
What should we bring on contest day?
Bring one laptop and charger per team.
Which programming languages are allowed?
Any language supported by Codeforces is allowed (C++, Java, Python, and more). See the full list here.
How does scoring work?
Teams are ranked by problems solved. Ties are broken by total time: the sum of submission times (in minutes) plus a 20-minute penalty for each incorrect submission on a problem that is eventually solved.
I still have more questions!
