Can online teams win prize?
Yes online teams can win prizes!
Unfortunately I won't be able to participate since the timings overlap with APIO :(
bruh I was gonna participate and we had a whole team as well but after reading this comment I remembered that APIO is at the same time bruh
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!
