Unfortunately I won't be able to participate since the timings overlap with APIO :(

    ah my apologies. we basically schedule CodeSprint the weekend before the ICPC North American Championship, so it's unfortunate that this results in a time conflict with APIO this year:(

CodeSprint has had great problems the past few years, so I'm really looking forward to it!
