The regional round of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest was held last week. UW-Madison participated with 8 teams (listed below). We placed 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 25th, and 31st among the 209 teams in our region.
The problem set and scoreboard are available on-line. Only the top team of the region is guaranteed a slot in the World Finals, but in the past, the top 3 to 4 teams of our region were invited. So there’s a good chance that this will be the 18th year in a row that UW-Madison makes it to the World Finals. No other school in North America can boast this record!
Congratulations to all participants, and thanks to Prof. Dieter van Melkebeek, grad student Jinman Zhao, and sophomore Ziyi Zhang for coaching the teams, and to the people at Epic for running the regional site!
