Actually me and MaximShipko have arrived yesterday.
During this time we, together with CROC staff, had setup 40 computers in the classroom (so it is pity that most of you will use own laptops), installed Code Game Challenge infrastructure and ready to meet the participants.
Soon it will be [contest:307]. Do not worry it some of the website features will be disable, our main goal is to make onsite-event.
Note that today the participants will take part in unofficial entertaining AI-programming contest.
I'll greet all the participants personally, and now I'm sending rays of sadness to the participants, who will not be able to participate today because of the curriculum.
And when the unofficial final contest take place?
Today at 15:00 (UTC).
will the online version of CROC be rated?
Yes. Note: it will be slightly unsual because we will not hide the standings of the official contest. So some information about difficulties of the problems will be known before the round.
It is Croc Champ 2013 — Finals (online version, Div. 1)
Why not an unrated contest for Div-2 ?
It'll be just too hard for Div. 2 to compete.
