Hi there,

Will there be a mirror for the icpc contest running on Thursday?

Also, any idea if there is an onsite place at the alfandega for anyone who wants to join the mirror to compete from?

Hi all,

Very soon the last elimination round of Google Code Jam will kick off.

The top 25 contestants, along with last year's champion tourist, will advance to the onsite final round.

Let's discuss the problems here after the round.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Soon, Google Code Jam online round 2 will kick off.

You can advance to Code Jam round 3, if you are one of the top-scoring 500 contestants from round 2.

Also, the top 1000 contestants will receive Google Code Jam t-shirt.

Let's discuss the problems here after the contest.

Good luck all!

P.S. Distributed Code Jam round 1 will take place one day after this round (exact time).

UPD: contest starts in less than an hour, you can load the dashboard now.

Soon The 2016 Topcoder Open Algorithm competition will kick off with qualification round 1A.

The top 750 contestants from this round will advance directly to round 2, while other contestants can have another shot at round 1B and round 1C.

As per topcoder tradition, the top 250 active members who have the highest algorithm rating received an automatic berth into round 2.

You can check your handle in the list of the automatic berth here!.

EDIT: Seems like there were usually no parallel rounds for first qualification rounds, let's hope there will be this year.

You can find the full tournament schedule here.

Good luck all!

For the last two years, specifically around this time of year, codeforces hold several training contests at the gym as a warm-up for teams participating in different regionals.

But this year there is no sign of the training season.

It was a good chance to practice with a lot of teams.

Is it delayed this year for some reason or it got discarded?

Google Code Jam online round 2 will start soon.

The top 1000 contestants will receive a limited edition of the Google Code Jam 2015 t-shirt. The top 500 contestants will advance to Round 3 to compete for finalist spots and a free trip to Google Seattle. They will also get a chance to compete in the brand new Distributed Code Jam competition.

Good luck all!

UPD: Contest starts in less than 2 hours, you can load the dashboard now.

During the past day, I tried to send codeforces messages but it redirects me to the "Codeforces is temporary unavailable" page and the message is not sent.

I have tried several times and it didn't work.

Is it a public issue?
