Hello CodeForces Community!

I am glad to share that HackerRank's WorldCup (CodeSprint on Algorithmic Programming Challenges) starts 11-September-2015 at 16:00 UTC.

Go ahead and register now at www.hackerrank.com/worldcup to show off your coding chops, and win amazing prizes like Video chat with HackerRank founders or Ahmed Aly, DJI Phantom Vision Quadcopter, Phantom 2 Vision+ Quadcopter, Apple Sport Watch, HackerRank hoodies and t-shirts! All participants who completely solve one challenge (that’s just 1 out of 6 questions!) will get $100 of AWS credits.

Also, you'll get an opportunity to connect for a career opportunity with WorldCup contest sponsors — Alarm, Asana, Capital One, Fidessa, Ooyala, Shift, Sightline Systems, Wipro Digital, Verizon, Zendesk, Zenefits.

Contest scoring is 25 — 40 — 50 — 75 — 100 — 120. Tiebreaker is person to reach the score.

I invite everyone from experts to beginners to participate and solve challenges. This is going to be a really awesome contest :)

This is a multi-stage team contest. Top 50%* of teams on the Leaderboard qualify to Semi Finals. *All teams whose final score is the same as the team in the 50% rank qualify (including teams ranked lower because of time penalty tiebreaker).
