Hi everyone!
Both onsite editions of OCPC 2026 Summer have now concluded: Hong Kong on 8–16 August, and Iași, Romania, on 12–20 September. I'd like to share the results and a few moments from the two sites 😊
This season took the same set of seven ICPC-style contests to City University of Hong Kong and Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, with remote participation alongside both editions.
Participation and winners
The combined rated scoreboard lists 94 teams: 28 onsite and 66 remote. The breakdown is:
| Edition | Onsite | Remote | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | 14 | 25 | 39 |
| Iași | 14 | 41 | 55 |
| Total | 28 | 66 | 94 |
Congratulations to the top three teams in each category, by the camp's combined rating! Many thanks to BigBag for maintaining the scoreboards.

Hong Kong
Our August edition was hosted at City University of Hong Kong. Thank you to Minming Li and Yixiong for hosting us, and to Jane Street, our Platinum sponsor for this site.
Participation fees were waived for all Hong Kong onsite teams this season. Bringing the camp to another region, and making it easier for teams to attend in person, is something I'm very happy we could do.
Of course, the camp also gives us a chance to spend time together away from our computers. We finished the Hong Kong edition with a closing dinner, certificates, prizes, and plenty of group photos.

Iași
In September, we met at the Faculty of Computer Science of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași. A big thank you to Alexandru Ioniță, Juve45, for hosting the local edition, and to our Gold sponsors Jane Street, Pinely, and Order Capital.
Between the contest days, participants could try bouldering and indoor karting. As much as we care about the contests themselves, these are also opportunities to get to know the people behind the team names.
The camp concluded with a closing dinner — one more chance to talk, celebrate the results, and take a photo together before everyone headed home.

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us onsite or remotely, and to the contest authors, testers, and people helping with analysis sessions. Preparing and running a camp takes a lot of work, and we appreciate everyone who contributed.
We are grateful to our sponsors and host universities, the ICPC Foundation, Eolymp for the contest platform, and Codeforces for helping us reach the community.
If you participated, we'd love to hear what you enjoyed and what we should improve. You can also keep in touch through our Discord server.
Thank you again, and good luck in your upcoming contests! 😊
