Sites

• Locations:
  • Christopher Newport University
  • Johns Hopkins University
  • North Carolina State University (NCSU)
  • Virginia Tech
  • Wilkes University
• Environment: Most sites will use the editors & tools as provided on this image; if not then similar tools will be provided.  Contact a particular site’s director for details.
• Divisions: The top few teams from Division 1 will advance to the North American Championship.  Its problems are more difficult and solutions more esoteric.  Division 2 is more fundamental, and is suitable for more beginning students.  D2 doesn’t require fancy algorithms but is still challenging.  You can see last year’s D1 and D2, for examples.

Team Registration

• Identify a team coach who will accompany the team to the contest site.
• If the coach does not already have an ICPC account, they can create one here.
• The coach must complete the team registration procedure:
• Identify the three students who will compete. You may use any selection method you wish; however, team members must meet eligibility requirements.
• Verify the eligibility of each student. Please refer to the ICPC Team Composition Rules for complete eligibility requirements.
• Coaches may make changes to their team reservations through 2025-Oct-31 (Fri) 23:59 (e.g. swapping team members);
  to request changes after that contact ian.barland@icpc.global.

  Payment options include credit card, checks (must have a US 9-digit routing number), and bank transfer.
  

Capacity Note

We expect most sites to fill up this year.  For fair access, we will initially allow sites to be over-enrolled.  When the early-payment deadline passes, the regional director will manually “load balance” as necessary (contacting coaches about the possibility of traveling to a different site, or to reduce #teams).  The general algorithm (tentative!) will just be that no school sends, e.g., a fourth team before all schools wanting to send three teams are able to.  Ties broken by payment-date.  Two exceptions: (i) host-sites get some number of extra seats, and (ii, tentative) schools who have sent a team to the North American Championship in the past two years can send an additional team.  This is the first year it’s not been first-come/first-serve, so these heuristics may need to be adjusted as seems fair.
