    People in Division 1 could actually enjoy an online Mirror Round On codeforces that could even be Rated! It's a fantastic idea for the future..

      1. Problems are designed for 3-person teams, for 5 hours. Not for individual participants.
      2. Solving old finals is a very nice training for teams preparing for next finals. So, many (should) try to avoid seeing problems.

    If tourist could participate then the competition for rank 1 was almost over. So, i think the rule that a person can participate in at most 2 world finals completely makes sense.

Please, correct "tile" -> "title" in "the tile of the World Champion of ACM ICPC!". The term "tile" also has an important meaning in programming and parallel execution, but this one is completely different out here. Thanks. ;)

    Copying from the Russian thread, according to Petr's information, the top 4 is fixed:

    1. SPbSU = 11 (1560)
    2. SJTU = 11 (1569)
    3. Harvard = 10 (1349 or 1358)
    4. MIPT = 10 (1437)

    Assuming that only information about these 4 universities and ITMO is correct; no one else can get into top 4.

    Assuming that Petr's info is correct — damn, only 9 minutes between 1-st and 2-nd place. Let's see if someone managed to get AC in the last seconds/minutes.

    Last year: what is the point of making contest with tourist ?

    This year: what is the point of making contest without tourist ?

    After tourist nothing will never be the same. :(

How does ACM manage to have a smooth stream for hours and just get it messed up at time of results?

Is that possible to add the problemsSet as a training contest in the Gym?! MikeMirzayanov

I think having such contest in the gym will help teams preparing for the next world finals, as in the gym you can see how others solve the problem after solving it, which is not available in the Live Archive

I don't even know which of these amazes me more: SPbSU jumped from 5th to 1st place with 2 problems solved in 2 minutes (288 to 290) or the fact that this year title race was decided by a mere 7 penalty.
