Contest
Registration
This page provides background on
registration for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Contest.
Registration includes
(i) entering teams,
(ii) contestants entering their information,
and
(iii) paying.
-
The Coach must create teams
by logging in to the icpc.global
and selecting
Dashboard »
Create Team (Green button; may have to scroll down) »
The 2024 Mid-Atlantic Regional Contest.
-
Adding students to teams can be done later
(though, soon thereafter—ideally by Oct-17, to guarantee t-shirt size).
-
Division 1 vs Division 2:
We are excited to be offering the option of competing either
in Division 1 (more difficult), or in Division 2.
Advancement to the North American Championship will be drawn from Division 1.
See some sample problem-sets.
To specify which division, choose the appropriate site
(e.g. Virginia Tech Div.1 or Virginia tech Div.2 .
A team may switch their division through Nov.08 (8d before contest)
by contacting the site-director or regional director.
If your desired division at a site is marked as full,
just register the team for the other division, and
notify the site-director or regional director,
and we'll fix it right up.

New-coach instructions are at
I am a Coach in the lower-left.
-
Note: Other contests, such as the North American Qualifier (2024-Oct-05),
entail selecting that other contest and making separate teams,.
-
Payment for each team must be received.
The on-time registration fee of
$175/team is due
2024-Oct-17 (Thu) 23:59.
A late-registration (incl. late fee $50/team) is due
Oct-24 (Thu) 23:59.
Teams that have not paid by the late deadline will be removed from the roster.
Guests
are $50 each.
Pay here via credit-card.
-
Contestants must complete their profile
at the ICPC page.
Do this by the registration deadline Oct-17 (Mon) to get the correct sized t-shirt,
or by the Nov-08 (last day to change team/contestant info).
-
t-shirts:
Teams registered and paid by the
Oct-17
deadline will get t-shirt size per their ICPC profile
(so be sure your students fill that out, with the rest of their profile).
Those who register after that, but by the late deadline, will get a randomly-sized t-shirt.
-
acceptance:
Unfortunately:
Because of limited availability at sites,
registration and payment does not guarantee that a team will be accepted.
We will monitor site-capacity for over-demand, and alert coaches.
If a school sends more than three teams to an oversubscribed site,
we may ask the coach to reduce their number of teams.
Priority takes payment-date into consideration.
Final decisions on
how many teams are accepted from a particular school
are up to the site director and regional contest director, as they judge fit.
Of course, full refunds are made for teams we can't accomodate.
Refunds
To qualify for a refund,
a team must notify the regional director by
Oct-25 23:59
(the late-registration deadline).
(In the event we must cancel a team
for administrative reasons, a full refund will be provided.)
