Hi Codeforces,

Today I've added the historical results of Google Hash Code finals to the Competitive Programming Hall of Fame website! Years 2019-2022 have been added to the newly made "Major Team Competitions" category, while 2015-2018 seasons were categorized as "Regional International Contests" because they were available only for participants from the EMEA region back then.

Here are the final standings for all the seasons: Link

Unfortunately, for years 2018 and earlier, I don't know the team members for a majority of finalist teams. So, you will help a lot if you know more about it and can send this information in the comments secontion below or here.

Last but not the least, now you have a possibility to make a donation to Competitive Programming Hall of Fame to support the project. I've created a special page for that.

As we know Meta Hacker Cup Finals 2023 will be happening this Saturday. I've collected the list of its finalists below. Three of them already were Hacker Cup champions before, that's impressive!

Interactive version of this table can be found at the special page of Competitive Programming Hall of Fame.

As usual, I wish good luck to all the finalists! And please let me know if some information is missing, incorrect or outdated.

Worldwide onsite finals became rare these days, but one of them, which is Yandex Cup 2023 Algorithm, will happen this weekend in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I've collected some statistics about finalists at the Competitive Programming Hall of Fame website: link

Also providing the list of participants that advanced to the final round here:

Good luck to the finalists!

P.S. If you have any information about mysterious takaryou1019, or about some changes in the finalists list, please let me know.

UPD There should be live stream of the final round at the official website.

Hi Codeforces!

I'm happy to show you two new features, that I've added to the Competitive Programming Hall of Fame website recently. You can find both of them at the main page:

The "Top-100" page allows to see the top performers in major competitions, and the top prize winners.

The "Advanced" pages contain the lists of participants who advanced to the finals of the upcoming contests. For each of the finalists, there is a bunch of interesting information like ratings and performance history. Most of the columns of the table are sortable. Now there are two advancers lists available: Finalists of Topcoder Open 2022 Marathon and Finalists of Topcoder Open 2022 Algorithm. Both of these competitions will be held this week!

Google Code Jam 2022 Virtual World Finals will take place today. They have published the list of finalists recently. For some reason SpyCheese and duality are not in the list. And there are 26 finalists this year (not 25), here they are:

Best of luck to all the finalists!

Hi Codeforces!

Today I'd like to introduce the new Competitive Programming Hall of Fame project that is available at cphof.org

Background

A long time ago I've noticed that there is no single source of information with the results of previously held large programming competitions. Moreover, plenty of older championships don't maintain their websites anymore, and it becomes hard or even impossible to find any details about them, which is pretty sad. So I've decided to create Competitive Programming Hall of Fame.

About the project

Competitive Programming Hall Of Fame is a project created to preserve the history of international championships in competitive programming. This website collects the results of the final stages for both worldwide and regional contests. By international championship we mean a contest consisting of several stages available for competitors from more than one country.

The project is mostly focused on worldwide contests that have onsite finals, and on smaller championships with no more than 100 finalists. For each of the participants there is a profile page with a timeline and track record of their performance in various final events.

We divide all championships into 5 categories: Worldwide Onsites (Major Competitions), Worldwide High School and Collegiate Onsites, Worldwide Online Championships, Regional Contests, and Local Contests.

How can you contribute

You can contribute to the Competitive Programming Hall of Fame by providing information that is missing or wrong on the website. Please use either the form at cphof.org/contribute or comments/DM at Codeforces for it.

We will be especially happy if you find and share something from this list:

• Information about any international competitive programming championship that is missing on the website;
• Wrong data on the website, duplicate profiles for the same person, or profiles of different people mistakenly merged into one;
• Wrong name spelling;
• Team members and prizes for ICPC World Finals 2005 and earlier;
• Standings (with the number of problems solved and penalty) for ACM-ICPC World Finals 2009, and for 1998 and earlier;
• Team members for Google Hash Code and Challenge24 (any year).

Acknowledgments

I express my appreciation to aropan (clist.by), eduardische (stats.ioinformatics.org), kostka (kostka.dev), snarknews (snarknews.info), zibada (zibada.guru), unknown author of www.go-hero.net, MikeMirzayanov, and all the authors of (Codeforces) blogs with lists of finalists for creating resources that share our mission to preserve the history of competitive programming contests. Without them our website couldn't have as much detailed data as it has today. Also, I would like to say thanks to aropan, DAle, Romka and tourist for some helpful pre-launch advice.

Feel free to spread the word about this website, and to use its materials in your blogs, video streams, and social pages.

The Wildcard Round of TopCoder Open 2021 Algorithm is over, so the list of Semifinals advancers is finalized now. I've put some stats about them into the table below. Here we have two former champions, and four people who had 2nd place before!

Good luck to all the semifinalists in November!

By "Onsites before" above I mean TCO Algorithm Onsites, of course. If you find some mistakes in the table, feel free to tell me via direct message.

Today is the day of Google Code Jam 2021 Virtual World Finals. Haven't seen a blog with the list of finalists yet, so I decided to create one. Here they are (in the order they've qualified from Round 3):

Today I've noticed, that the dates of Algorithm rounds have been changed at this page:
https://tco20.topcoder.com/competition-overview/algorithm/algorithm-rules

For example, previously Round 2A was scheduled for May 23, and Round 4 — for August 1.
Now, it looks like Rounds 2A and 2B will be held in July, 3A and 3B in August, and Round 4 on September 5.
Can someone from TCO organizers confirm this information?
