Team Registration

• Identify the three students who will compete. You may use any selection method you wish; however, team members must meet eligibility requirements.
• Verify the eligibility of each student. Please refer to the ICPC Team Composition Rules for complete eligibility requirements.
• Identify a faculty sponsor who will certify the proper composition of the team.
• Identify a team coach who will accompany the team to the contest site. The coach and faculty sponsor may be the same person.
• If the coach does not already have an ICPC account, the coach must create one at the ICPC web site.
• The coach must complete the team registration procedure at the ICPC web site.
• Coaches may make changes to their team reservations through February 15, 2023.
• 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. Div1: Wilkes University or Div2: Wilkes University. A team may switch their division through Feb.15th (10d before contest) by contacting the site-director or regional director.
• New-coach instructions are at I am a Coach in the lower-left.
• Note: Other contests, such as the North American Qualifier (Feb.04), entail selecting that other contest and making separate teams.
• t-shirts: Teams registered and paid by the Jan-30 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 accommodate.
• Refunds To qualify for a refund, a team must notify the regional director by Feb-06 (Mon) 23:59 (the late-registration deadline). (In the event we must cancel a team for administrative reasons, a full refund will be provided.)
• Switching Regions Teams from outside the Mid-Atlantic region who wish to compete in this region must first contact the Director of Regional Contests, to receive permission to switch affiliations. Please make sure to indicate 1) the correct geographic region, 2) the site within the Mid-Atlantic region at which you wish to participate, and 3) the reason for the switch. Switches are considered if the site at which you wish to participate is geographically closer than the location of the correct region’s contest.
