The Division A (for experienced teams' training) will also have non-thematic five hour long contests of the ACM ICPC Regionals difficulty level; analyses of non-thematic rounds will be held by MIPT team trainers. The Division B (educational) will have two thematic shortened contests in the morning and in the evening, as well as a lecture in the corresponding topic and analyses of problems composed by lecturers. The schedule is composed in the way that makes it possible for participants of the Division A to submit an application to the organizing committee to become lecturers (on the same conditions as invited lecturers). Teams select a division to participate in themselves. Aside from the overall standings, each division will have its own separate standings calculated, so winners of each division will also be rewarded.
