Eligibility

You are eligible to participate in the UCSD contests if you meet all of the following requirements: One goal of this tryout contest (besides having fun) is to create teams to represent
UCSD at the ACM Programming Contest on Nov 7, 2009.
If you plan to place at the UCSD contest, please keep Nov 7, 2009 free on your calendar.


HINTS ABOUT THE TRYOUT CONTEST

1. A little bit of practice goes a long way. Practice solving questions at the uva online judge site, that you signed up for above.

2. A large part of the tryout contest is to know how to test your own program and how to catch the end cases.
The above website will allow you to practice a few problems and the automated judging system will let you know if you missed something (just like at the real contest).

Official Instructions

Make sure you bring your programming language, algorithm, math, geometry, graphics, and reference books and notes with you to the contest. You cannot access any material over the internet.
