Hello, Codeforces!↵
↵
As the official team of NowCoder (China's leading programming competition platform), we are pleased to introduce the 2025 NowCoder Summer Multi-School Training Camp! This annual event has been running for eight years. Since the summer of 2018, we have collaborated with top competitors from algorithmic competitions such as ICPC, NOI, and IOI, aiming to enhance participants' programming skills through competitions, lectures, and exchanges, and to prepare for upcoming competitions like ICPC and CCPC in the second half of the year; simultaneously, we seek to foster learning and exchange among university training teams worldwide.↵

1. **Schedule**. Consistent with last year, this year's training camp will consist of ten ICPC-style competitions, starting on [Tuesday, 15 July 2025<sup title="timezone offset" style="font-size:8px;" data-immersive-translate-walked="24cdac9c-eeae-41da-aef2-9dcf86c7ba59">UTC+8</sup>](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=NowCoder+Summer+Multi-School+Training+Camp+2025%3A+Round+1&iso=20250715T12&p1=%3A&ah=5) and running for five weeks. Each competition will begin at 12:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, lasting five hours per session.↵
2. **Team Composition**. We allow teams of up to three participants.↵
3. **Problem Structure**. Each competition will include 10–14 problems. We will provide English problem statements and additional Chinese PDF problem statements, following the ICPC competition format. The difficulty level of the problems is comparable to that of ICPC and CCPC regional competitions, with some competitions potentially slightly more challenging than official competitions.↵
4. **Post-Competition Problem Solutions**. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (UTC+8) on each competition day, we invite problem setters to provide live explanations of the problems, along with written solutions (typically in English, though may be in Chinese depending on the problem-setting team's style). Within seven working days after each competition, professional instructors will also conduct live explanations for selected problems (typically at the bronze to silver difficulty level, excluding particularly challenging problems) tailored for beginners.↵
5. **Intellectual Property Protection**. After the competition, the submission channel will enter a minimum two-year quiet period, during which only paying users can submit code and participate in virtual competitions (VP). However, contestant code, problem statements, solutions, videos, and other resources will be open to everyone (some features require login). For qualified participants, we will also open the competition data and standard solutions for all problems. During this period, participants must commit to adhering to discipline, including not sharing account passwords and maintaining the confidentiality of competition problem data and standard solutions.↵

It is particularly worth noting that we have observed the outstanding performance of AI models in algorithm competitions. Therefore, in the verification process for this event, we utilized ChatGPT's o3 model and xAI's Grok-4 model for verification tasks. Following each competition, we will synchronously update the verification results on the NiuKe platform and at the end of this article. Believe me, this content will be highly engaging, and I believe this marks the first large-scale integration of AI models into algorithm competition verification work. We will directly observe the performance of top AI models in algorithm competitions.↵

As the official team of NowCoder (China's leading programming competition platform), we are pleased to introduce the 2025 NowCoder Summer Multi-School Training Camp! This annual event has been running for eight years. Since the summer of 2018, we have collaborated with top competitors from algorithmic competitions such as ICPC, NOI, and IOI, aiming to enhance participants' programming skills through competitions, lectures, and exchanges, and to prepare for upcoming competitions like ICPC and CCPC in the second half of the year; simultaneously, we seek to foster learning and exchange among university training teams worldwide.↵
↵
<center>↵
<h2 style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000;">Details</h2>↵
</center>↵
↵
1. **Schedule**. Consistent with last year, this year's training camp will consist of ten ICPC-style competitions, starting on [Tuesday, 15 July 2025<sup title="timezone offset" style="font-size:8px;" data-immersive-translate-walked="24cdac9c-eeae-41da-aef2-9dcf86c7ba59">UTC+8</sup>](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=NowCoder+Summer+Multi-School+Training+Camp+2025%3A+Round+1&iso=20250715T12&p1=%3A&ah=5) and running for five weeks. Each competition will begin at 12:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, lasting five hours per session.↵
2. **Team Composition**. We allow teams of up to three participants.↵
3. **Problem Structure**. Each competition will include 10–14 problems. We will provide English problem statements and additional Chinese PDF problem statements, following the ICPC competition format. The difficulty level of the problems is comparable to that of ICPC and CCPC regional competitions, with some competitions potentially slightly more challenging than official competitions.↵
4. **Post-Competition Problem Solutions**. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (UTC+8) on each competition day, we invite problem setters to provide live explanations of the problems, along with written solutions (typically in English, though may be in Chinese depending on the problem-setting team's style). Within seven working days after each competition, professional instructors will also conduct live explanations for selected problems (typically at the bronze to silver difficulty level, excluding particularly challenging problems) tailored for beginners.↵
5. **Intellectual Property Protection**. After the competition, the submission channel will enter a minimum two-year quiet period, during which only paying users can submit code and participate in virtual competitions (VP). However, contestant code, problem statements, solutions, videos, and other resources will be open to everyone (some features require login). For qualified participants, we will also open the competition data and standard solutions for all problems. During this period, participants must commit to adhering to discipline, including not sharing account passwords and maintaining the confidentiality of competition problem data and standard solutions.↵

If you wish to learn more about the competition, you can find additional information at [2025 Information Summary](https://ac.nowcoder.com/discuss/1500490) and [Introduction Page](https://competition.nowcoder.com/200/introduce#378). You can also view past competitions: [2024](https://ac.nowcoder.com/discuss/1295959), [2023](https://ac.nowcoder.com/discuss/1161248), [2022](https://ac.nowcoder.com/discuss/944978), [2021](https://ac.nowcoder.com/discuss/991934).↵
↵
The registration channel is open until August 29, 2025 (UTC+8). If you are interested in participating, please register your team via the [Intro Page](https://competition.nowcoder.com/200/introduce#378). If you have any questions, you can always comment below or get in touch with us by joining the [Discord](https://discord.gg/AUQ6wgx6tx) group.↵
↵
We are committed to fostering a global collaborative atmosphere and promoting cross-cultural interaction in the field of competitive programming. Whether you are a student honing your skills for regional competitions or a seasoned coder seeking rigorous practice, this training camp offers a respectful and inclusive environment to facilitate growth. We value the international diversity of the CodeForces community and welcome participants from around the world.↵

It is particularly worth noting that we have observed the outstanding performance of AI models in algorithm competitions. Therefore, in the verification process for this event, we utilized ChatGPT's o3 model and xAI's Grok-4 model for verification tasks. Following each competition, we will synchronously update the verification results on the NiuKe platform and at the end of this article. Believe me, this content will be highly engaging, and I believe this marks the first large-scale integration of AI models into algorithm competition verification work. We will directly observe the performance of top AI models in algorithm competitions.↵
