Hello Codeforces!
I'm pleased to announce the first championship hosted on the Codeforces platform. Welcome 8VC Venture Cup 2017!
8VC will be hosting a coding championship on Codeforces. The championship will begin on January 15 and take place in 2 rounds.
The contest will occur in two rounds:
- The Elimination Round is online and takes place on January 15, 17:00 (UTC). Elimination Round follows regular Codeforces rules and consists of 7-8 problems. For this round, the complexity of the problems will be comparable to a regular Codeforces round. There are no eligibility restrictions to participate in the round.
- The Final Round takes place on January 22, consists of 5-6 problems, and uses regular Codeforces rules. The complexity of the problems is higher than a regular Codeforces round. We will invite the top local finishers in Elimination Round to Woodside, CA to compete in the Final Round. In addition, we will invite the top 200 overall finishers to compete online.
Cool prizes are offered to winners and best participants.
