Contest Rules:
Program delivery uses standard I/O (stdin/stdout, no file operation required). The highest score of the previous submissions is the score of the problem. The time of submitting the program with the highest score for the first time is the time of the problem. After submitting the program, the system will quickly evaluate and feedback the evaluation score. The total score takes the highest score in previous evaluations as the final score, and the last program submission time that achieved the highest score for the first time as the total score.
This ranking is the joint ranking of players from all over the world. When players have the same ranking results and scores, those with less time will be the top.
Highlights of the 5th Turing Cup Tournament
High Contest Quality: The contest problems will be set up by grandmasters in competitive programming like ICPC world finalists, IOI medalist and top competitive programming winners in China's national competitions.
Real-time Contest Ranking: Besides the real-time rank list during the contest, the final international ranking will release a few minutes after the contest ends.
International Contest: Compete with other top coding enthusiasts around the world, we have thousands of registered contestants from China, the US, Russia, Canada, and India.
XinYouDui
XinYouDui is a world-class competitive programming training organization founded by Xuejun High School’s International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) Contest diamond-level coach Mr. Xianyou Xu, who has over 20+ years of teaching experience in competitive programming. Since its inception, XinYouDui has won 6 world championships (2 in International Olympiad in Informatics, and 4 in International School of Informatics for Juniors), 8 international gold medals (4 IOI gold medals, 4 ISIJ gold medals), 53 Asia-Pacific gold medals, 39 NOI gold medals, and more than 160 students entered in MIT, Harvard University, Columbia University, CMU, and Tsinghua University and Peking University top universities around the world.
X-Camp Academy
X-Camp Academy was founded in August 2017 in Silicon Valley by two Google software engineers. We are building a community dedicated to inspiring and cultivating the next generation of computer science and artificial intelligence talent. X-Camp's curriculum system and training methodology is inherited from Mr. Xianyou Xu, and re-develop by our teaching research team in the US. Our staff is mainly composed of senior software engineers from tech companies in Silicon Valley. In addition, we have strong support from international and domestic contest winners in our coaching team. As of now, more than 200 X-Camp students have qualified for USACO Silver division and above, including 30 in the Platinum division and 5 were selected in the US Camp, out of which 4 were fresh from the 2022 season. In 22/23 Season, 7 received invitations to the US Camp, 5 students are out of top 10 in the Platinum division, and 11 students passed Gold into Platinum.
I hope I can solve one of the later problems in the intermediate divisions this year (last year I only got the first 3).
The problems are very nice, recommended.

May U rest in peace!
Looking forward to it very much.
Auto comment: topic has been updated by acyume (previous revision, new revision, compare).
Has the contest site exploded? acyume May u explain a little about the situation? Is it only me?
I won't participate in this ever again unless it upgraded its servers. Also, can u guys make it more clear about the languages? Tons of participants got CE cuz u don't say if it's g++ or g++17.
Terrible queue, worst contest experience in the first half of this year.
Here is the announcement from the Organizers:
Hi there, The ranking list has been published, please check it out.
Novice：https://ranklist.turingstar.com.cn/91
Intermediate：https://ranklist.turingstar.com.cn/92
Advanced：https://ranklist.turingstar.com.cn/93
Appeal time: May 20, 9:00 PM PDT (Pacific Time)/May 21, 2023, 12:00 AM EDT (Eastern Time)
Appeal Procedure: 1) Email to: feedback@xinyoudui.com. The email subject comes with [ Results Appeal + Username ]. 2) The email content specifies that it is for [xx problem] in [xx division], and can attach a screenshot. 3) We will reply as soon as possible after receiving the email, please be patient and do not submit the appeal repeatedly.
During the competition, due to the slow feedback of the evaluation system, the competition organizing committee temporarily adjusted the competition rules and set the submission results as invisible. As a result, many participants encountered CE (compile error) issues after submitting their code.
To solve this problem, we closed the submission portal after the competition ended, and ensured that all correct code submissions during the competition period could pass the compilation. Additionally, for C++ code submissions that encountered CE issues, we recompiled them using g++14 and g++17 to avoid point deduction caused by CE.
We would like to express our sincere apologies to participants, and other users who have paid attention to the competition for the inconvenience caused by the evaluation issue in this competition. The previous four Turing Cup competitions went smoothly, and the evaluation issue in this competition was unexpected. We appreciate your participation in this competition and look forward to meeting you again in a better state in the future.
