Do you like solving programming problems?

Do you want to represent Virginia Tech at the ICPC regionals on Nov 16 in Blacksburg?

We will be sending a number (between 6 and 10) of 3-student teams to the regional competition, which is held here in Blacksburg November 16. To be considered for a slot on one of those teams, take part in our tryout. We will select the best students from the tryout.

info

Join us this Saturday, Oct 5 from 2pm to 7pm EDT in Torgersen Hall 1100 (overflow to 1100C). Bring a laptop. The contest starts on time at 2pm, so be there earlier.

The regionals (though not the NAQ) involve 2 divisions: Division I and Division II. While only Division I teams are eligible to advance to the North American Championships, Division II provides easier problems for less experienced students.

tip

To participate, you must register before the contest.

  • If you don't have an ICPC account, go to https://icpc.global/ and create one. You need to use your @vt.edu email since this contest is a collegiate contest that's open to only college students. (You don't have to be a CS major, but you must be enrolled at VT.)

  • Then, go to https://na.icpc.global/naq/ and click Register. Choose "MidAtlantic" as the site. Register as a one-person team.

Email Dr. Back (gback@vt.edu) for any questions!
