By george_stelian, 20 months ago, In English

Dear Codeforces,

I am honored to share that the IX-th edition of the AGM International Programming Contest has officially begun!

AGM is addressed to High School students who compete in teams of up to 3 members, ICPC-style. The contest has 2 rounds:

  1. The Qualification Round held online, on Saturday, the 22nd of April between 15:00 and 20:00 GMT+3 (timeanddate)
  2. The Final Round held onsite, hosted by ICHB in Bucharest (Pallady Campus). The date and time will be announced soon.

Registrations are opened until Thursday, the 20th of April at 17:00 GMT+3: https://forms.gle/ViXe3VwpA1gLm1uW6

The problem sets are entirely developed by current and former university students from the United Kingdom, Romania, and the Netherlands.

The top 10 teams of the Final Round will receive Diplomas. Additionally, the top 3 teams of the Final Round will receive cash prizes:

  • I-st place: 1200 RON
  • II-nd place: 900 RON
  • III-rd place: 600 RON

In the meantime, please have a look over the last three years' problem sets here.

Here are some useful links:

Finally, I am more than delighted to present our team: patrick.sava (the heart of the project), teoionescu, carabet.cosmin, Mihai22e, Stelutzu, munteanuvlad98, caesar2001, MiricaMatei, tinca_matei, georgerapeanu, average_frog_enjoyer, popovicirobert, Alex18mai, ionan6ix, butasebi, Stefan_Radu, eman98, mihaicristian, and me

George

    I recommend reading the blog before commenting on it, especially if you have a doubt.

Hi! I registered my team a few days ago and haven't received a response yet. It is OK or I did something wrong?

Hello.

Can the team leader be from a team of three students? For example, if I decide to compete, can I be the team leader, or does it have to be someone who does not participate, which would complicate this further?

    Hi, the team leader can be one of the participants. The team leader is just responsible with the communication with the organisers (ex: the team leader will receive by email the credentials for the judge system). Best, George

    Does GMT+2 mean exactly GMT+2 (UTC+2) or refers to Bucharest/Romania Local time (EEST) which changed from GMT+2 to GMT+3 recently?

      Hi! We're targeting the Bucharest/Athens time zone. Strictly speaking, it'd be 17:00 UTC+3 (EEST). Hope this helps!

Hi everyone! Daylight saving time (DST) happened after we initially announced the contest to start at 14:00 GMT+2. In previous comments, we announced that we are actually targeting 14:00 under the current Bucharest/Athens time zone (GMT+3). However, to be fair to those that do not watch this blog post, we decided to stick with the initial start time. Hence, the contest will start at 14:00 GMT+2 (or 15:00 Bucharest/Athens time zone). See here how this maps to your local time zone. We are sorry if this implies you will need to wait an extra hour before the contest starts! Good luck to all the teams!

Why poor? Why low money prizes?

Have a great day, Mihnea
