If you are students between 14 and 19 you may be interested to the Reply Code Challenge — Teen Edition!
Can there be younger ages?
From 14 to 19 you can partecipate in Reply Code Challenge — Teen Edition.
From 16 and older you can partecipate in Reply Code Challenge — Standard Edition.
Below 14 years old there are currently no challenges (as there are legal problems with underage registrations)
What is the format? Hashcode like or more typical (ICPC/codeforces)
The Standard Edition will be HashCode style: one optimization problem, several input files. You can write your solution in any language and you must submit a valid output and the original source code. No time limits for solutions.
The Teen Edition will be Codejam style: five problems with five levels of increasing difficulties. You download an input file and must submit a correct output file in few minutes.
Why do you want to exclude single person teams?
As it happens in the Google Hashcode and other team-based competitions, beside single person skills, we would like to spread team building and collaboration skills.
Just add 3 random people and get (in case of winning) 4 prizes instead of 1. Feels like there's no sense in teams of less than 4 people with such rules
