Hello Codeforces!

The contest, which is scheduled for January 19th, 2025, will be a full-day event with a hybrid format: an in-person competition at MIT, and an online division held at the same time. Participants form teams of up to three people. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of age!

We will have a Beginner and an Advanced division. The Advanced division will consist of two 2.5 hour rounds with 5 problems each, while the Beginner division will be a single 2.5 hour round with 9 problems, held concurrently with the second Advanced round. See the logistics page for more details, including the schedule, rules, and prizes.

We expect a difficulty distribution roughly ranging from 700-1800 for Beginner and 1600-3000 for Advanced (CF rating).
