All the best.
Will you cover the payments of the visa and the flights for the qualified teams ?
nice contributions no. ;)
We will cover three nights of accommodation at the hotel for all participants. We also aim to cover travel costs as broadly as possible; however, the extent of flight coverage will depend on the final list of finalists. Details regarding travel support will be announced after the qualification round. We do not cover visa application fees.
how to change team-mate?
email us at coding-cup@recraft.ai
Do we have to form team on codeforces too with the same name and team members or it isn't necessary?
Not necessary, you'll get login info for your team by email
How long does the qualification rounds last?
4 hours
"The use of AI is allowed and encouraged" what??

Hi, how much computers are allowed per team ?
3 (or rather 1 per person)
I registered individually for the competition, but I didn’t receive any follow-up email to complete the process. Kindly look into this.

Can I still sign up if I'm under 18?
It is 23 hours before the contest and I have not received the login info via email after registering. Is it delayed?
Hi! If you registered today, you'll get you login and password by the end of the day. If that's not the case — please email us with your team name/registration email at coding-cup@recraft.ai
I got it now. Thanks!
I received an email with a team login and password even though I didn’t register lol.
There was a mix up with the first portion of emails — apologies for that
Hi the link to the contest I got by mail says it starts at 9AM UTC instead of 1PM UTC
That's weird, could you please forward it to coding-cup@recraft.ai ?
I'm having the same issue. Probably the start time was set mistakenly?

Hi,
Our team registered a few weeks back, but we have not received login information. We have also emailed the organizer. How can we receive the login information?
All login issues were resolved before the contest (except for some late registrations). Hope all is well for those who commented about it here.
I wish there was a way to calculate how much CO₂ was emitted during the contest :)
Hi! Are there any known Wild Cards? I didn't find this information on social media.
