The first warmup round of the ITACPC is tomorrow! If you registered your team, you should soon receive an email with instructions on how to access the contest area.
15 minutes to go, are you ready?

If this is your first time competing in this kind of contest, remember to read all the tasks (they aren't sorted by difficulty!)

If you're using Java, remember that:
- The public class in your code should be named A or B or ... (the task name)
- To read input, the Scanner class is far too slow and will cause "time limit exceeded" errors. Use BufferedReader.

If you still didn't receive the username and password, check the spam folder of your inbox.

The ranking of today's contests will be soon live at http://itacpc.deib.polimi.it/ranking/

Good luck and have fun ๐Ÿ’ช
Congratulations to all participants, and especially to the winners of the round:

๐Ÿ“Œ News: a new round was scheduled for June 15th at 14:30 ๐Ÿ“†

We made some changes since last time, for example the URL is now www.itacpc.it (as per popular vote ๐Ÿ˜„) and the 1 PC rule was replaced with a 3 PC rule.

Most importantly the registration process was replaced by a new system that lets you dynamically create/join a team (it used to be a google form).

If you created your team with the old system, please create it again using the new system before June 15th!
๐Ÿฅ Are you ready? The ITACPC Warmup Round 2 will start in about 30 minutes. You should all have received your username and password (if not, check the spam folder).

๐Ÿ“† Mark your calendar, there's a warmup round this Saturday.

IMPORTANT: unlike the previous round, this time the duration will be 3 HOURS, one-man teams beware!

The contest will start at 14:30 on July 6th, ending at 17:30.

All users who are members of a team will receive the username and password to participate (the email will be sent a few hours before the start of the contest). If you didn't create a team yet, make sure to do so as soon as possible!
โ—๏ธATTENTION: The warm-up round originally scheduled for July 6th (tomorrow) is canceled โ—๏ธ

We had to cancel this round because of (still unresolved!) technical issues with the cooling system in the server room of Politecnico di Milano. You may have noticed that the registration was not working properly as of late. This technical problem was out of our control and it affected ITACPC as well as some internal resources of Politecnico di Milano.

Please inform your team mates about this. We're very sorry if this disrupts your plans and we hope to make it up to you in the next round, which will soon be announced.

โ€”โ€”โ€”

...But while we wait for the server to cool down, how about we don't let our enthusiasm cool down with it?

๐Ÿ’ช LET'S TRAIN ANYWAY!

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Our Swiss counterpart (the Helvetic Coding Contest, or HCยฒ for short) is holding a warm-up round with the same rules as ITACPC. Take part in this contest to keep your team in shape and ready for the next ITACPC rounds!

The round will take place on Codeforces on Sunday, July 7th, at 09:05. For more information click here. To participate in this contest you need a Codeforces account for each member of you team (and you need to create a team).

See you in the next round,
