Note that initially this contest was scheduled on a different day. Due to technical difficulties, we had to postpone the online mirror. We are sorry about that; if you planned to participate, but are no longer able because the contest day has changed, you can use the virtual participation option.
Hello Codeforces!
The Southern and Volga Russian Regional Contest was held in Saratov State University yesterday, on 12th of November. This contest was used to qualify the teams from Southern Russia and Volga region to the Northern Eurasia Finals.
On Nov/18/2024 13:35 (Moscow time), we will conduct the online mirror of this contest. It will last for 5 hours and is best suited for teams of three people, although it is not forbidden to participate in teams of smaller/larger size. The mirror will use ICPC rules, the same as the offline contest.
The contest was prepared by adedalic, awoo, dmitryme, elena, Neon, DmitryKlenov, MikeMirzayanov, Ferume and me. Big thanks to the contest testers: Kuroni, ashmelev, bthero, KIRIJIJI, Kniaz, vladmart, JanPlovLagman, H3nTa1, pshenikita. I would like to express my gratitude to MikeMirzayanov for not only participating in the preparation process himself, but also making Polygon, which made our work much easier.
As the chief judge of the contest, I hope you enjoy the problems!
Of course, the contest will be unrated.
ohk...
Is it possible to see rated 5 hours long team contests in codeforces in future?
I think it is hard because how could a team perfomrance an indication for every member's level. But I believe that it will be interesting if codeforces add a new feature of rating for teams and then introduce this new type of contests.
In history a group rating change already happened in codeforces, you can see here
Excuse me, in the online mirror, is it valid for the team members to use different computers at the same time? For the past ICPC-style contests on Codeforces, there are both cases of "yes" and "no".
