AlBaath Collegiate Programming Contest 2015
By samiemad, history, 9 years ago, In English

Hi Codeforces!

I'd like to invite you to participate in an online mirror of AlBaath Collegiate Programming Contest 2015. The contest will be held on codeforces gym, and will start on Saturday 26/3/2016 at 10:00 AM UTC+2, registration will open 6 hours before the start time.

The contest consists of 11 problems, and you have 5 hours to solve them, ICPC rules.

The original contest was held in AlBaath University, Homs, Syria as a qualification round to the Syrian Collegiate programming contest 2015.

The problems difficulty is easy-medium, although the problems are designed for new comers into the competitive programming world, but I believe that all participants will find very interesting problems to solve!

It is an old contest, I know. but it is never too late to share good problems! (I hope) :)

I would like to thank codeforces community and MikeMirzayanov for the codeforces and polygon platform.

Wish you all happy coding, and lots of greens! :D

Why is the contest running for 7 days though it has already ended? I think someone has changed it for some unknown reason.

    Sorry, this one is on me.

    It happened the same as this

    I tried to add it to a group training though I wanted it to run for 7 days (a professor asked me to choose some problems for some optional, extra-class activity before the real classes begin). I thought that changing it inside the group would change the contest only in the group, but it changes in the gym also (so it seems impossible to do what I want).

      This will mess the standings of the gym contest because virtual participation is not allowed and anyone want to take part will have a weird penalty. There is a better solution, though. You can make a mashup contest and add it to your group. To pick problems from the gym, add them in the mashup contest using their ID. For example, problem A in "Albaath" has the link http://codeforces.net/gym/100947/problem/A. So, it's id is 100947A. I hope you will restore it back.

        I felt stunned and didn't change before as I didn't know the day the contest started (but it shows in this post, so I've changed back to what it was).

        Thank you about the info, it worked = ) (and sorry again).
