Hey there, fellow programmers. As we all have seen, this year ICPC regionals have been complete disaster and it is really hard to identify who cheated based on plagiarism detectors alone. There was not proper proctoring and in cases even institutionalized cheating. We have literal cheaters doing 10/10 and beating Masters.

What we demand is a fair chance of presenting our skills, nothing else.

ICPC is not just an online contest but a premier contest for actual talent identification and it should not be desecrated and debasement. It is my humble request for support of fellow Indian community in starting petitions for retake with better proctoring, onsite centers as it really pains my heart.

You can give your heart to a craft but if the judges are not fair. You will never win and it causes deep heartache.

It is not about winning but justifying the ache to the heart, the efforts and years behind it.

We started a Google form soon for anonymous misconduct for affected with proofs/strong indication. https://forms.gle/U68UXwuZPhLPmhEQ7
