Hi all and happy New Year!

I am chessmaster, and ordinary student from Uzbekistan, who has been participating ACM ICPC semifinals of NEERC region. During the first attempt, my team managed to solve two problems and was a bit higher than bottom in the scoreboard. However, this year we couldn’t solve anything (let’s not talk about places). At that moment, I realized that NEERC is a hard nut to crack. Being blue (not to mention green and cyan), it is way too early to dream about first-degree certificates or proceeding to Finals. So I said to myself: “Either you raise your rating to 2000 or you skip ACM ICPC 2017. You won’t even register your team!”. Then I told my friends about this and four of them joined me. Now I want to offer this challenge to all div2 students, who want not only participate at ACM ICPC, but also succeed in it. If you think you can do this, then getting 2000 must be a piece of cake for you. Otherwise, everything is clear already.


Now, why exactly 2000?

Just because you can get 1900 accidentally and fall back to div2 in a couple of contest. On contrary, for getting 2000 you will have to stay in div1, which means good skills and a possibility to achieve at least something during the real competition (of course, role of the team in ICPC is also important).


Not to write too much, if you are confident and ready to take risk, join us!

Show everyone that you can go up to the skies (almost) in a year and show your determination. Comment if you are ready to skip ACM ICPC 2017 if you don’t get 2000 points of maximal rating.


HAPPY NEW YEAR one more time! I wish you success and positive rating on "Good Bye Round"!
