Hello, fellow competitive programmers!

We are Team We Judge the Judges from Zagazig University, and we're excited to share our journey with you. We've been given the incredible opportunity to represent our university at the Africa and Arab Collegiate Programming Championship (ACPC).

For months, I and my teammates (ZyadFva & Ayman_khaled) have been preparing for this competition. Our days and nights have been spent solving algorithmic challenges, improving our coding skills, and working as a team. Through dedication and passion for competitive programming, we ranked 10th overall teams in our qualification day and 57th in the Egyptian Collegiate Programming Contest (ECPC) and qualified to ACPC.

However, we're facing a significant challenge. The costs associated with participating in the ACPC are far beyond what we, as students, can manage. This is where we're reaching out to you, the competitive programming community, for support. With your help, we believe we can turn this challenge into an opportunity.

Now, we are looking for a sponsor to help our team participate in the upcoming Africa and Arab Collegiate Programming Championship (ACPC). Participating in the ACPC requires payment of expensive registration fees, which our team can't afford, so we need a sponsor to help us so that we can compete in the championship.

Thank you!

Was shocked to find out that ACPC is part of ICPC. I guess in NA and Asia-Pacific the costs are lowered by sponsorships. It is a shame that ICPC is asking such high registraton fees while problem quality is lower than an average CF contest, at least on the regional level.

Don't understand why Egypt requires that much fees to participate. They say it for the hotel and some other (non-coding) activities, but guess what? back in 2021 we were qualified to the ACPC but because of the COVID-19 we were not able to travel to Egypt and even tho they asked ask to pay the fees to participate ONLINE??? Paying for what? 500$ per person just to stay home and participate on online competition... even tho we participated but they removed all the Moroccan teams from the scoreboard after the competition finished because we didn't pay. Now Morocco is no longer part of the ACPC, it's just a corrupted company and we all know this, but still wondering why people still give their money for to those b_st_rds?

    If people don't participate I don't think they'll do anything, as if everyone would agree not to participate.
