We have held Race Rankings to choose AtCoder World Tour Finalist. However, after we postponed the World Tour Finals 2020 due to the pandemic, the rules of the 2020 to 2022 seasons were obscure.
This year, we finally decided to hold a combined AtCoder World Tour Finals for four seasons. There will be a single championship contest and some fun activities. The Finals will take place in August or September and we are communicating with the finalist to decide on the date.
In addition, we have published the rule for the 2023 season.
The major difference from the previous version is that we allow online participation for the Finals. This is because, though the pandemic is gradually settling down, the world situation is still turbulent when compared to the before-COVID era. We also allow people under 18 to take part in the Finals. The previous rule excluded underage participants because it was hard to invite them due to operational or legal reasons, and it would harm the integrity of the onsite event. However, we have an online option now, so there is no strong need for such a rule.
