Hi,
The 4th Universal Cup has officially begun!
For those who are new: the Universal Cup is a weekly, open team contest in the ICPC format, featuring global problem sets. In the previous season, more than 1,000 teams from over 500 institutions worldwide registered and took part in 40 stages, covering contests from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Our participants range from former ICPC and IOI champions to current students sharpening their skills.
We are dedicated to offering training resources for competitive programming teams and building a platform where the world's top talents can showcase their abilities. Join us today, you will be able to compete with teams from around the world, access a rich archive of past high-quality contests for training, and connect with others on our server to share knowledge and tips.
For our friends from the past seasons, we've made several major updates, from the rules to our contest platforms. Make sure to review the updates and get ready for the first contest.
The first stage of this season, the Grand Prix of Korolyov, will take place on October 4–5, based on the Day 3 problem set from the Northern Eurasia Camp 2025. After that, we'll continue with weekly contests built on a variety of high-quality problem sets.
We cannot wait to see you in the contests. Good luck, and have fun!
I have some questions.
The rule says "During the competition, team members are not permitted to use their own electronic devices simultaneously for coding or employing other problem-solving applications." than should members of one team should use only one electronic device for whole contest? Or they can use each of their own electronic devices, but only one person can coding at same moment?
And how are you gonna findout that which team is coding simultaneously during contest?
If we can't talk about contest, then can't we even talk to teammates on online so we should participate all contests by gathering at same place? or can we participate on our own home?
And there's only 3 team member slot at registration from. If there's 4th and 5th team member, should them added after making team?
