And... We're back!

The Montgomery Blair HS computer team is excited to present the seventh edition of the Montgomery Blair Informatics Tournament (mBIT) — mythology edition!

Just like last year, we will be holding the competition in a dual format. We will have an in-person competition at Montgomery Blair High School open to middle school and high schoolers, and an online mirror hosted here on Codeforces and open to everyone.

Details

• Sunday, June 1st, 2025

• In-person event: 10 AM — 3:30 PM EST

• Competition time: 11 AM — 2 PM EST

• Teams of up to three

• Three divisions

• $800+ total prize pool plus t-shirts

For the first time, we will be offering three divisions to compete in! In the past, mBIT has been highly rated by both complete beginners and world class competitors! Visit our website for more details and past problems to gauge difficulty.

Beginner Division: Recommended for teams that are new to programming competitions, and teams in the bronze level of USACO. The majority of the problems will be solvable in less than 15 lines of code and will focus on coding proficiency and the ability to construct simple algorithms. It is recommended that all teams know how to code prior to the competition.

Intermediate Division: Recommended for teams in the silver and gold levels in USACO. The range of problem difficulties will be wide, but the majority will be in the silver and gold levels. Competitors should have experience with algorithmic techniques such as graph traversals, binary search, and dynamic programming.

Advanced Division: Recommended for teams in the platinum levels and above. There will be fewer problems, with the intent that teams focus their time on the hardest ones. The hardest problem is roughly 3000 difficulty. We anticipate this year's advanced problemset to be harder than last year's advanced problemset.

All problems are completely original and are written by the Montgomery Blair Computer Team, including DanTheMan., JMK100, srzhang, kchwoony210,andreiDoro, cherr7, and JamesTheNotLamez. The problems were tested by omeganot, tkl2006, gabrielwu, and galen_colin.
