Your goals for ACM ICPC season 2019-2020
By antontrygubO_o, history, 6 years ago, In Russian

Close to New Year, I think, a lot of competitive programmers were setting their goals for the year 2019. Some posted their goals, some not, but most of them were related to their rating ambitions (like becoming IGM by end of 2019). I think that the ACM ICPC final 2019 is a good day for setting the goals for ACM ICPC season 2019-2020.

I know that studying and training is a much more productive way of getting closer to your goals than dreaming and talking, but I feel like reading which goals other participants set for them may be really motivating and inspiring.

Feel free to share your goals with the community, no matter if you are a disappointed participant from this year final or a student of a university which has never been to final before!

Personally my goal is just to get to ACM ICPC final 2020

Which is quite challenging as I am in a region with MIT and Harvard =(

      By the way, the organizers are never able to draw that regions map without mistakes. And now this map is being slightly wrong, too: for example, Belarus and Georgia refer to Northern Eurasia Contests, not to Europe Contests.

      UPD: if you click Europe Contests, you can see that Estonia is attached to CERC, not NWERC. So I believe this map is not very reliable.
