Coaches,

The ICPC Greater New York regional contest registration is now open.

Please register yourself and your team(s) at:

You can find detailed information about the regional this year at:

Note that there are a few changes this year.  

We are requiring that teams sign in and connect to the contest server on one of two dates TBD to test both their login and our systems.  Full details can be found at the link provided.

If anyone has any problems registering or general questions, email me directly at joete...@gmail.com.

TShirts must be ordered fairly early this year.  To ensure you get the proper size (or a tshirt at all) register and send the entrance fee ASAP!

I am looking forward to meeting all of you and having a fun and successful competition this year!

Reminder for the 2018 North American Qualifier (NAQ) Programming Competition.

CONTEST DATE: The contest is on October 6th, 2018.

REGISTRATION LINKS: You can find instructions and links to contest registration here:

That page also contains a lot more information about the contest.

ABOUT THE NAQ: The NAQ is an online-only contest which coaches and schools may use to help them select teams (or practice with their teams) for upcoming ICPC regional competitions. (Despite the name, the qualifier does not actually promote any contestant directly to another competition.)

Thanks,

Coaches,

PLEASE REGISTER NOW!!!

Register yourself and your team(s) at:

http://icpc.global

You can find detailed information about the regional this year at:

http://acmgnyr.org

For those of you who have signed up a team you MUST have your students register and then assign them to the teams you have set up.

Everyone must register and fill out a profile.  This is where I get T-Shirt sizing information from.  I need an accurate count!

As some of you know, after you register your teams I will send you an email explaining how to download the contest image in order for yourself and your students to get familiar with the contest environment and to test it out.

You must use a hard connection!!  Wifi will not work!

As of this post, several of you have downloaded the image but no one has connected or submitted any solutions.

Please take this lead time to try this out so we have fewer issues on the actual contest date...this helps both my staff and your students!

As stated before you will be required to participate in a short test contest.

You may pick from one of the following 2 days:

Sunday 10/28 at 2:00PM
Thursday, Nov 8 at 7:00PM

Those of you who choose not to participate on one of the 2 dates above will be given low priority if any issues should arise during the contest.  It is in everyone's best interest to do this!

PAYMENT OF FEES (taken from http://acmgnyr.org):

Please send payments ASAP!

• $150 each team (including one coach per school), plus $50 per guest.
• Example - University A brings 3 teams.
• The fee of $450 will include 9 students (3 students per team) and 1 coach.
• If each of the 3 teams brings a different coach the fee would be $550 as the other 2 coaches would be considered guests and be issued a fee of $50 each.
• ONLY CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED
• Checks MUST be made out to "Baylor University ICPC HQ." Please make a note in the memo that the check is for "GNY Regional Contest 2018.
• Checks MUST be received by Friday, November 2, 2018 to avoid any late fees and guarantee a slot at the contest.
• Any teams registering after the deadline will be assessed a $30 late fee.
• Mail checks to:
  • Greater New York ICPC
  • PO Box 126
  • Oceanside, NY 11572

Finally see this thread for information about the NAQ.  It should be a fun contest to get your students in the competitive mood and its free!!!

Participation in this contest also helps us gain more slots to the finals.
