Hello, Codeforces!

Microsoft Development Center Serbia is thrilled to announce the start of the 12th edition of Bubble Cup competition! Bubble Cup is an international, ACM-style team contest aimed at university and high school students.

You can register and take part in the competition on the BubbleCup website. Qualifications consist of two online rounds which start on the 1st of April and on the 1st of May and last for 25 days each. Both online rounds will feature around 10 problems selected from Online Judges, including at least one challenge problem!

The best 16 teams will compete in the 5-hour long finals in Belgrade, Serbia, tentative date being September 2020 due to COVID-19 situation.

Biggest change in the rules from the previous iterations is that now for any foreign country there can be at most 2 teams in the finals. Please check the updates rules on the BubbleCup website.
