ICPC Amritapuri Regional Round
By taap_cader, history, 3 years ago, In English

What are benifits/advantages of reaching regional round in ICPC. We have to pay registration fees (Amritapuri). Then why are people are excited to get shortlisted as only top 2-3 teams are going to be selected for further rounds/world finals?

In Olympics, Why do so many participants participate knowing that only the top 3 will win the medals?

    No, I doesn't mean that. But I will also be fool to go in Olympics to run 100 m, or even hoping for that. The students who have solved 4 or 5 questions have chance to compete at national or even international level, but students who have solved less than or equal to 3 questions, or they know that they can not compete at national level, I am talking about those students. 700 teams are going to be selected, apart from top 200 in ranklist, what is there for others in regional round in which they have to 700 rs registration fees to appear.
