According to the newly updated rules, participants who are qualified for the world finals will have to decide whether to participate on-site or online. I'm creating this blog to make a record of your preferences (which team is going or not, or possibly happy to go but not able to).
University of Wisconsin-Madison: 2 on-site, 1 online (as of Aug 19)
Can one team split into two teams respectively for on-site & online?
USC here, met same issue.
We're not sure about that too. I hope they make some clarification on this soon.
Seoul NU, Korea U goes onsite, KAIST goes remote.
The MIT team still plans to go remote.
oh why :(
When the original email about onsite/remote participation came (it was on July 13), due to health safety reasons and due to potential changes in traveling restrictions, we decided it is safer to participate remotely. Importantly, in that email there were no comments about different treatments of onsite and remote teams. :-/
I am assuming that many teams are affected by the newest decisions. Would it be possible to have e-proctoring and then allow such teams to participate by onsite rules? IOI took place that way.
Has there been any official indication that it is still possible for teams to change their decisions after the most recent announcement?
