Hello Codeforces!
Are you tired of only doing virtual contests? Want a more fun way to compete with friends, alone or on a team? Try Bingo-CP.
What is Bingo-CP?
Bingo-CP is a free web app that turns Codeforces practice into a quick social game. Problems are placed on an n×n bingo board. Teams of 1–4 players compete at the same time. The first team to complete any row, column, or diagonal wins.

How to play
1. Click "Create Match" as in the picture.
2. Choose grid size (3×3 to 6×6), start time, duration, rating range, and mode.
3. Add team members by Codeforces handle (1–4 each).
4. Start the match. All teams solve at once. The first accepted submission claims the square for the team.
5. First team to complete a row, column, or diagonal wins.
Solves are detected automatically from Codeforces submissions, so no one needs to claim squares manually.
Match options
Start time and duration.
Rating range for problem selection.
Mode: Classic (fixed board) or Replace.
Replace mode: when a square is solved it is replaced by a new problem that is tougher. The replacement’s rating is the solved problem’s rating plus the Replace increment.
Example: a solved 1400 with increment 100 will be replaced by a 1500 problem. Replace mode keeps the board getting harder as the match goes on and encourages different team strategies.
Grid size: 3×3 to 6×6.
Team handles: enter Codeforces handles for each team.
Modes
ICPC mode
This is the main mode right now. You can play Classic or Replace.
IOI mode
Planned, but currently disabled because of API issues. I’m working on a fix.
