Trial round reviewed our system — trial round! The first problem of trial round was a quiz. The question was about Codeforces and VK. First team that solved it is Saint Veronika: kokokostya, aytel. Сongratulate! :)
Yesterday finalists went to the Hermitage Museum and carting. Today we had a lunch on the ship.
Competitors now take part in Code Game Challenge. In 2018 this is football. At evening we will watch results. For winners, VK has very nice prizes.
Tomorrow we give a link to results and you can watch and chatter for the favorite teams ;) More about the competition you can watch at VK Cup group.
Won't there be a parallel rated round?
It should be, but it won't be parallel
Perhaps they will split it in two contests as in the previous year... Honestly it would better be parallel round.
Is it rated?
So awesome. Motivation to work harder to reacher there. I can't imagine how awesome it would have been to code side by side in a competition.
Where's the parallel round? Is it deleted a few hours ago?
The hidden contest isn't the parallel round...
That's VK Cup 2018 Final.
However, don't you think that the original problems of VK Cup Finals are too hard for most users if there was a parallel round?
