          A country must have some really good programmers if nutella people are afraid that they won't make the top4 in their country.

      Funny that you mention it, Moldova actually has the highest persistence of all countries at IMO, with an average of 2.11 participations per student. Wouldn't be surprised if we're in the top at IOI as well.

        I can't stop somebody from looking at my screen, you know, it's my solution, I didn't submit anyone's solution at the end of the contest. And we both (he has $$$0$$$ points) got rated unlike somebody, so there was no point to mention him too.

          So you are against cheating and at the same time you allow other people to just stare at your screen and copy your code character by character ? I hope you won't do that at the IOI. Oh wait..

          p.s My behaviour didn't affect anyone. In fact, my rating would have increased and I wanted to remain div2 and used CF's flawed rules to do that. I wouldn't care if it was rated for me and I got 0 points. Btw, I still don't understand why CF doesn't do that to cheaters.

            I would care if he didn't submit your code for A before his last submission.

            Ok, with this kind of logic, I somehow managed to allow you copy my code and get 30 points on first problem at IOI.

              But zhangzy's thesis is obviously not well prepared. He started preparing it at the end of April and it is the shortest one among all theses of the candidates. He even modified the digital version of his thesis after the paper version is printed. And his topic is not a new one (divide and conquer on the tree).

              The regulations slightly changes this year. The thesis defense used to be between the two days' contest in the past several years, but this year it took place after the two days' selection. As before, it do matters the result of selection.

          Well some people have asked me this, and maybe this doesn't make sense to some people. One of the reasons is that I got a gold last year in IOI but not in IOL, so this year I'm trying for that in the other two. Of course IOI is still the bigger event compared to IOL but it's ok for me, and besides if I am not busy with other stuff I can still join the online mirror for the problems (hopefully) (also maybe I want to visit Korea for IOL? XD).

      Ya based on results my scores for all contests (and all problems) majorizes the score of everyone else, so it was definitely some other reason.

      Ok so this year basically I am still joining IMO and IOL too like last year. However, this year IOL ends 2 days before IOI starts. Technically I can still make it to both, and indeed I have planned to still join all 3 this year.

      However, there is a mindsetting camp for the IOI few days before the IOI, which means I definitely can't attend since I will be at IOL. Then there was some voting about whether people who don't attend the camp like me can get to attend IOI (in 2017, I actually came back early from IMO just to attend the camp because it was compulsory, though I think one of our team members didn't attend on the first day or so because of other events anyway). Anyway, in the end this lead to the following set of team members.

      While I tried to participate in all 3 again, maybe this is not that bad, since recently I just got told that our IOL trip will end 1 day later anyway, so it would be quite rush physically to make it to both as well.

        The passport he had was expired (and he had no time to get a new one) and also because of some other reasons regarding his job.

    I am wondering: do you guys have your own platform for training? I see very few contests on your profiles, and if I can remember, Australia usually has a pretty good representation (for instance, I remember JoeyWheeler and jerry performances at the IOI).

      Yes, we have an Australian judge, orac, where we do most of our training. Most problems on there are private and are given to us for training. Since codeforces rounds are usually in the middle of the night for us we don't do as many of them.

    Hello everyone. Greetings from Thailand. This is my first time at IOI, For me, this is a new experience in my world of competitive programming because IOI is held internationally (I had never participate a competition internationally before... so exciting). I love meeting with people, so nice to meet you guys, and I'd look forward to see you guys in the IOI!

    Thailand team gave us 'magnetic paper weights' (what are they called?) as souvenirs last year at IOI, which turned out to be so useful to me. It'd be nice if you bring some of those this year too. :D

Sometimes the underdeveloped countries of the world although when their national team has a level, they can not take their entire team for a small budget of the country and I believe that in places of development of talents in the competitive programming like this that promotes to such level the competitive programming that becomes a hobby for users should be supported in some way to the cause of all the participants of the IOI or at least almost all participate in this competition because it is quite demotivating that participants with a long career in competitive programming and that they have sacrificed so much, when making a national team they can not participate in competitions of this style which frustrates many of them.

    According to the IOI regulations, a contestant "is a student who was enrolled in a school at a level not higher than secondary education".

    So the definition is "not higher", it is fine if you are younger.

    As pllk said, my understanding of IOI regulations is that contestants from school levels below secondary are allowed to compete at IOI.

    However, the regulations are also very vague around selection criteria. Imagine if elementary schools in that country are under supervision of a different organization than secondary ones. I can see, how unfortunately, that might create funding problems for example. When I was organizing ICPC in Cambridge, we were only sponsored for Computer Science students, so we had to find funding for other departments’ students elsewhere.

    With this amount of information, however, it’s impossible for me to do anything further about this. You could always try asking national organizers about the reasoning. If you’re still unhappy with the reasoning and want to bring it up to IC, then I’d recommend sending an e-mail to IC or providing me with more details so I can do it for you. It’s doubtful that IC would be able to do anything for this IOI, but at least we’ll be aware of the situation and can act on it for the future if deemed appropriate. However, I’d imagine hearing from the person that was actually not allowed to go would be the most impactful.

    Note: all of the above is my personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of IC.

IOI 2019 Contestants

I'll add photos for 2019 and Codeforces handles from this thread a bit later.

Azerbaijan's second team will also get added a bit later – they're currently not in the registration system, so I'm tracking this separately.

UPD: 2019 photos are up.
