Is Kickstart actually strictly just for students? Also, are high school or graduate students eligible?

    Let me cite one of the organizers: "We encourage coding enthusiasts of all skill and experience levels to participate in the upcoming rounds." Ergo, there are no limits.

      Cool, so it's like an SRM. I see that a lot of effort is being put in the new system, maybe incoming is also ratings?

It was a nice contest, cheers. Do you plan to add some prizes like T-Shirts for future Kickstarts? I've seen there is such an option in the rules, but have encountered such a contest.

Hello, sorry to bother again, but I find the scoreboard of the new system extremely counterintuitive, does it conform to all the design guidelines of Google Material Design :P ? On my HD monitor fullscreen I can see 3 problem scores and barely 10 contestants without scrolling ... https://i.ibb.co/Jd6mTJw/2019-02-25-2227.png

    You should solve problems that are between too easy and too hard.
