ICPC — JU Competitive Programming Contest (JUCPC)
About This Competition
The JU Competitive Programming Contest (JUCPC) is the University of Jordan's qualifier within the ICPC, the International Competitive Programming Contest. Teams of three share a single machine and race to solve as many algorithmic problems as they can within a five-hour window, with a balloon delivered to the desk for every problem accepted. I competed in the 2018 edition on 6 April 2018 and again in the 2019 edition on 22 June 2019, where the contest was run under the ACPC, the Africa and Arab Collegiate Programming Championship, and I received two Certificates of Achievement.
