Osijek Competitive Programming Camp, Winter 2024

From February 17th to 25th, 2024, our School hosted the OCPC, the competitive programming training camp aimed at preparing students for ICPC and similar programming competitions.

The camp consisted of 7 ICPC-style contests, i.e., 5 hours and 9-12 problems each, and two days off. These contests were specifically designed for 3-person teams of ICPC-eligible university students, with each team using one computer. However, teams of up to 3 people who did not meet the criteria were also allowed.

Contests were made with expectations to be comparable with or harder than ICPC regionals in difficulty. After the contest, participants had the opportunity to listen to the contest analysis and discussion led by the author or one of our coaches.

The camp was organised by a team of former and current ICPC participants and was hosted by the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Osijek. Please also refer to https://ocpc.mathos.unios.hr for more information.
