Hello! I'm happy to announce The 1st Universal Cup. Stage 15: Hangzhou, which will be held on May 6th, 2023.

This contest is prepared by Zhejiang University, which is based on The 20th Zhejiang Provincial Collegiate Programming Contest, The 20th Zhejiang University of Technology Collegiate Programming Contest and The 16th Hangzhou Normal University Programming Contest. If you have participated in any of these contests or solved any problem from these contests, please skip this round.

As usual, we have three time windows for participating. You can participate in the contest in the following three time windows:

• May 6th 13:00 — 18:00 (UTC +8)
• May 7th 19:00 — 24:00 (UTC +8)
• May 7th 02:00 — 07:00 (UTC +8)

Please note that you can see two scoreboards in DOMjudge. The 'Local Scoreboard' shows the standings ONLY IN THE CURRENT TIME WINDOW. And the 'Combined Scoreboard' shows all participants, including the onsite participants, and the cup participants in the previous time windows.
