Next Sunday, March 24, at 16:00 UTC the first competition of the Eolymp Weekend Practice series will take place.

Format and Difficulty

As the name suggests, this series of competitions is primarily aimed at improving practical skills. There will be 5 tasks of varying difficulty, the easiest of which can even be solved by beginners.

The distribution of points by tasks is 50-100-200-300-350, with scoring for each task being block-based (meaning points are awarded for each block of tests separately, and only if the solution passes all tests in the block). If there is a tie between two participants, the one whose last productive submission (i.e., a submission that added at least one point) was made earlier will be ranked higher in the leaderboard.

This series has a standard duration of two hours.
