The Stony Brook Competitive Programming Club (CompProg) and Women in Computer Science (WiCS) are organizing a local ACM-style Coding Contest on
Thursday, September 19, 2019
Room 2120 of Old Computer Science Building
7:00 - 7:30PM -- warmup
7:30 - 10:30PM -- competition
Each participant must compete alone, and will get 5-7 algorithmic programming problems to solve in 3 hours.
The goal is to identify the top candidates for our ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) teams, which will participate in the Greater New York Regional Contest for a slot in the ACM World Finals to be held in Moscow, Russia next Summer.
SPONSORS:
Google and Stony Brook GSO (Graduate Student Organization).
PRIZES (with a new prize by WiCS!):
There will be prizes for the top ten (10) finishers in the selection contest.
Major prizes will be awarded to the top finisher in each of the three categories:
(1) Juniors (for first- and second-year undergrads),
(2) Seniors (for third- and fourth-year undergrads), and
(3) Grads (for first- and second-year graduate students).
Another new major prize will be awarded by WiCS:
WiCS Choice Award: to be given to a top contestant (chosen by WiCS) not already receiving an award in the grade categories.
REGISTRATION:
Please register for the selection contest by September 15 (Sunday) at https://forms.gle/ZHW64roPw6ByTzu47. No registration is required for the practice contest.

Note that for your HackerRank account you must use exactly the same email address and first/last names that you will provide in the contest registration form above.
