It is open to teams consisting of undergraduate college students from the Philippines.

The mirrors are open to everyone!

The rounds were originally held on January 17-27, 2020 (online) and February 22, 2020 (onsite, at UP Diliman), respectively.

The problems range from easy to challenging. Everyone from the newbie to the grandmaster will find an interesting problem in the contest. The Elimination Round will contain standard problems, while the Final Round will contain more original and interesting problems, and is harder on average.

Editorials will be released after the mirror contests end.

kevinsogo Can you make the submissions public? Since the competition is done, I want to explore other solutions / implementations.

    Hey, unfortunately it doesn't seem possible because the gym contest has already frozen its settings :(

    But the first page of the editorial has a link to the setters' and testers' solutions which you can check out :)
