Hi everyone! Recently the Indian ICPC online round was held and 2 teams from my institute were caught in plagiarism and for some weird reason the computer science department of our institute is withdrawing the candidature of ALL the teams from our institute. They have asked all the coaches to withdraw the coaching privilege. So I just want to ask, if there is any way for us to participate in the regionals without a coach or maybe something else that we could do?
While I know the indians regionals are known to be a total mess, I just want to request the non-indians to not laugh over this and suggest some way if they know.

Wow. IIT's administrations are well known for imposing their weird ideologies on students, but this is hilarious.
Say two guys from first year were caught in plagiarism, so we will withdraw the canditaure from all students, even final years, so that this will be a lesson to everyone that we don't tolerate plagiarism here. Lmao, it's like police put the whole city in jail because two guys commited crime, and yeah it will be a lesson to everyone that we don't tolerate crime in this city.

I think it would be against the rules to circumvent this problem.
Dudeee I don't think you can register without a coach but, you should definitely request your coaches/CS department of your college to revamp their decision!! Only the one's caught must be penalised, they fukin can't snatch this chance from all the deserving people who worked hard for it!!!
This is sooo much against the spirit of ICPC!!
This is not fare. They have to think that in academics too if anyone will cheat in exams that doesn't mean they will take action against all the students.
