Dear Codeforces,
I am pleased to invite you to participate in CodeSprint LA 2021, UCLA ACM-ICPC's annual beginner-friendly algorithms contest, tentatively planned for Saturday, May 22, 2021, 10am — 5pm PDT!
(To let us know whether the time works for you, you can use the Google form)
This year we are planning (subject to change):
- 2hr individual round and 3hr team round (3 members per team) with ICPC scoring
- Beginner (div. 3-4) and Open (div. 1-2) divisions
- Non-trivial prize pools for both UCLA and non-UCLA participants, sponsored by Jane Street
Last year's contest had over 150 participants; problems are available on Kattis at https://codesprintla20-team.kattis.com/standings and https://codesprintla20-individual.kattis.com/standings. This year's Open division should be much more challenging than last year's contest, while this year's Beginner division will be somewhat easier.
I would like to thank rishisankar, summertony717, nikilrselvam, lucasxia01, arihant72600, wildplum, entrohpy, Enmi and many others for help with problem writing, testsolving, and contest organization.
Prize distributions, how to sign up, and more details will be posted soon. To receive updates by email, and let us know you are interested, sign up here: https://forms.gle/86zCm12LsbGR2USHA!
