This round wouldn't have been possible without Harbour.Space University's support.

This contest is for all interested eligible programmers who want to start their bachelor and master studies in Barcelona, Spain or Bangkok, Thailand, and join ICPC team.

For the next academic year (2023/24), Harbour.Space University is recruiting a fascinating community of competitive programmers from the top prize-winners of international Olympiads to join one of several competitive programming teams at the university.

In the next few years, their goal is to continue winning SWERC and competing at a high level in the ICPC globally. Therefore they want to invest a serious amount of energy, resources, and talent into these activities.

That’s why you are invited on an exciting journey in the company of like-minded people, outstanding coaches, and ongoing partnership Harbour.Space University with Codeforces.

Over 100 educational rounds were already organized, so the time has come to test our joint efforts and reward the most diligent.

Here’s what you win if you place in the contest:

Codeforces and Harbour.Space

The monthly living allowance throughout the entire duration of studies may vary depending on the overall performance of the students as measured by their GPA, professional achievements and official ICPC competition results. As a guideline, it is in the range of 700-1500 EUR (it might be applied to the contestants who win 4th-10th places).

No application fee is required for any of the awards listed above.

Good luck, and may the code be with you!

Hello, Codeforces!

First of all huge thanks to Dhruvil Psychotic_D Kakadiya for developing this great tool to help us growing our community.

Since many people like to see their unofficial rating changes in the contests they participate in gym, our team has developed a website that updates the rating of anyone who participates in our series of gym contests.

What is TheForces?

TheForces rounds are series of unofficial gym contests which are created by a group of CP lovers in the CF community with the purpose of contributing the Competitive Programming community.

What do you mean by rating changes?

From now on, You can see your performance and rating changes after each TheForces round on https://theforces.netlify.app.

Preview of the leaderboard

UPD1: Change in style, and now users can find contest data of any other user by entering handle name.

Look of find data feature

UPD2: Now users can see the rating change graph below the contest data table of any user. Special thanks to wyhong3103 for his amazing tool (what-if-i-never-brick). He let me use his graph generating-script for this tool. Orz!

UPD3: Page not found error solved.

P.S : This is the initial version of the rating system and there will be more features in the next updates.

How does it calculate rating?

TheForces rating system is almost the same as Codeforces and it is using the same formulas that Codeforces uses to update the ratings, for more information about the rating changes, You can read this blog.

Hello Codeforces!!

As a member of TheForces team, We create gym rounds, As you all know WA on test 1 has 20 minutes penalty for unofficial contests (but in official rounds WA on test 1 doesn't have any penalty), And I see many contestants getting WA on test 1 and 20 minutes penalty which sometimes leads to lose the first place only because of that useless penalty, I kindly ask MikeMirzayanov or other headquarters to remove this feature, Thanks in advance.
