Coaches,

I hope everyone is having a good start to the year.

Our original plan was to return to an in-person contest this year.  Unfortunately, with the latest Covid variant and Universities having differing policies for event participation the ICPC GNY team has decided to hold the contest online again this year.

The rules will be largely similar to last year's online contest.

Contest Details:

Date: Sunday, March 6, 2022

Registration is now open!
Register yourself and your team(s) at:

In addition to this newsletter you can find additional information on our website:

There will be NO FEE this year to participate.
T-Shirts can be ordered through ICPC if you like for a fee but are not required.

The basic rules for participation in this year's contest are:

  • One workstation per team member.  This differs from the on-site competition with a limitation of one workstation per team.

  • Teams may build up a library of routines and code prior to the contest.  This differs from the on-site competition where every team starts with an empty home directory.

  • During the competition, teams may communicate about the contest only with their team members and contest officials.  Teams may not communicate about the contest with coaches, contestants on other teams, family members, etc.

  • Teams are permitted to use electronic and/or physical (e.g. book) resources available to them during the competition.  This includes online resources available to the general public.

  • Teams may not use AI assisted coding tools (eg. CoPilot, etc.), fee-, institution specific-, or restricted subscription-based resources, such as restricted access journals, upgraded websites requiring payments, etc.

  • The competition will be run under the honor system, according to academic standards of conduct.


ICPC has set up several online practice contests.  It would be a good idea to have your students participate since the environment and rules have changed this year.  We have very low participation from GNY so far which is disappointing.  Please encourage your students to use these resources.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I will pass along new information as I get it.

Hello Coaches,

We are two 2 weeks from the online contest.

We currently have 20 teams approved for participation.  This is below our normal turnout.  The more teams and schools that participate in the regional lead to more slots at the North America Contest for those from Greater New York.  This helps us all grow.

Please register your students ASAP.  Remember this year it is free to participate with no limit on the number of teams a school can send. :-)

Schedule Update Sunday March 6, 2022

10:00AM - Students will log into the contest server.  We will hold a 30 minute "practice" contest to ensure everyone can connect and there are no issues.
10:30AM- Opening ceremony (webinar on Zoom)
11:00AM (Roughly)- We will begin the contest and it will run for 5 hours.
4:00PM (Roughly)- Closing ceremony to announce winners (webinar on Zoom)

Hello Coaches,

We are 1 week away from the Greater New York Regional contest.  The top teams from the contest will be invited to participate in the North America Championship in Florida.

If you have not yet registered your teams please do so ASAP!  We are still far below our normal turnout.
Registration will remain open until a day before the contest.
