Hi everyone
It is time for this year's edition of the Danish Programming Championship (as always, part of the Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest, NCPC). It will be held
Saturday, October 10, 2015 in the Zuse building.
If you want to participate, please let me know at rav(a)cs.au.dk, and I will let you know when the contest registration opens. Tell me who are on your team. If you need teammates, I can help match you up.
As usual, the event is sponsored by Netcompany and arranged by Netcompany and the CS department, and there will be lunch, snacks, cake, soda, fruit etc. during the competition. After the competition, we will have an award ceremony where we go through the solutions to the contest problems while consuming pizza, sodas and beer.
Practice:
I will host two practice sessions on Sept 24 and Sept 30. Location will be announced later; please write to me if you are interested.
NWERC tryouts:
The NWERC tryouts will be held one week before the contest on Saturday October 3, 2015. Please write to me if you would like to go to NWERC. Since the NCPC registration deadline is after the NWERC tryouts, please don't register in the ICPC system before you know what NWERC team you are on; you should compete with your NWERC team at the NCPC for practice!
What is NWERC?
The Northwestern Europe Regional Contest is a programming competition in which the best teams in Northwest Europe compete. We usually send the best 6 students in Aarhus to NWERC, sponsored by the department, based on an individual qualification contest. We leave the department Friday morning November 27, and after the contest on Sunday November 29 we go back to Aarhus. It is usually a lot of fun, so I hope you sign up for the qualifier!
Best,
Mathias Rav (the new Jesper)
