Hi everyone

It is time for this year's edition of the Danish Programming Championship (as always, part of the Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest, NCPC). It will be held

Saturday, October 7, 2017 in the Zuse building.

If you want to participate, please sign up at the following Google form:

Remember to subscribe to the Facebook event!

I will email you to confirm your registration. If you need teammates, let me know at rav@cs.au.dk and I can help match you up.

If you are an ICPC-eligible student team, then you have to use the provided computer equipment at the contest. If you are not ICPC-eligible and you have a laptop you can use at the contest, then please let me know.

Since the space in the Zuse building is limited, I can only guarantee that there is room for the first 22 teams that register.  If you are not one of the lucky first 22 teams to register, I will still try to make room for you, but unfortunately I cannot promise to be able to fit in everyone at the contest.

As usual, the event is sponsored by Netcompany and arranged by Netcompany and the CS department, and there will be lunch, snacks, cake, soda, fruit etc. during the competition. After the competition, we will have an award ceremony where we go through the solutions to the contest problems while consuming pizza, sodas and beer.

Practice:
Netcompany and Jobindex are hosting a practice session in the CS Friday bar on Friday September 22nd.  If you would like to join, please register as soon as possible and sign up on the Facebook event.  After the practice session, there's free pizza, sodas and beer for those who have registered.

NWERC tryouts:
The NWERC tryouts will be held two weeks before the contest on Sunday September 24, 2017.  Please write to me if you would like to go to NWERC.  Please don't register in the ICPC system before you know what NWERC team you are on; you should compete with your NWERC team at the NCPC for practice!

What is NWERC? The Northwestern Europe Regional Contest is a programming competition in which the best teams in Northwest Europe compete.  In 2017, NWERC is held at The University of Bath (UK).  We usually send the best 6 students in Aarhus to NWERC, sponsored by the department, based on an individual qualification contest.  We leave the department Friday morning November 18, and after the contest on Sunday November 20 we go back to Aarhus.  It is usually a lot of fun, so I hope you sign up for the qualifier!

Best,
Mathias Rav
