Regional Contest: NAEAST 2025
Plan is to decide teams using a combination of UCup results and 0-3 additional practices. Due to our regional contest being inconsistent yet highly selective, only teams with near-top performances in selections will go to regionals.
- You can register either individually or as a team by email to Richard at yangp@cs.cmu.edu.
- For every UCup contest that your team participates in, please email a contest log (with submission log screenshot) to Richard as well.
- CSES, Codeforces, and AtCoder profiles (and only those) will be taken into account, pointers to those are welcome.
Update, Oct 15
(after discussions with colleagues, taking results til now into account):
- Teams to regionals are in same format as last year (one + sub teams):
- one designated competitive team, that can be self-formed,
- plus one team of subs to account for WF-related uncertainties.
- The designated team will be picked based on results of the selection contests, plus discretion by Richard.
- The sub team of 3 will be decided individually, per discussions with Richard and Danny.

NA Championship (NAC) 2025: scoreboard
Regional Contest (NAEAST/ECNA) 2024
Participating
In light of NAEAST23 results and difficulties in asking for a more approachable contest from the problem setters, my priority this season will be maximizing the performance of top team at NAEAST24.
I'm intending the weekly online UCup contests to replace the `show up and do problems' activity role.
There have been a lot of changes in both the enviroment of ICPC and broader programming competitions.
There is an ongoing effort in compiling documents that summarize how we got to this point.
For more details and discussions, email Richard at yangp@cs.cmu.edu.
- You can register either individually or as a team by email to Richard at yangp@cs.cmu.edu.

- CSES, Codeforces, and AtCoder profiles (and only those) will be taken into account. Pointers to those will be appreciated.
Richard will decide on teams to attend NAEAST based on UCup results
as well as additional simulated contests of past ECNAs and NENAs,
as well as transportation capacity.
Updates
- Sunday Nov 10, 2024: regional contest at Youngstown, OH
(scoreboard).
- Oct 27: due to requests for ICPC tourism
by Danny and uncertainties with ICPC logistics,
one additional team (CMU NewRulePlusJobbers,
tdraper,
pb,
apun)
is also going to the regional contest.
- Oct 13: due to the UCup results being sufficiently skewed
(consistent ≥3 problems difference),
only one team (CMU NewGamePlusPlayers,
fsy,
xyx,
yjz)
is going to the regional contest.
