Welcome
to the Pacific NW Region Programming Contest! The Pacific NW Region is comprised of the following areas: Alaska, Hawaii, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, northern/central California and western Nevada. Because of the large geographic area of the region, the contest is held simultaneously at multiple sites: California, Northwest (Oregon), Northeast (E. WA and Idaho), NEW Puget Sound (Western Washington), Canada, and Hawaii. Regional contests are held each fall, usually the 1st or 2nd Saturday in November, and qualifying teams are then eligible to compete in the World Finals, held the following spring.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR 2011 CONTEST
  • On contest day, registration will begin at 9am PST, not 8am as in previous years to accommodate the 3 hour time difference the Hawaii site faces.
  • Registration will close on Wednesday, November 2.  Any teams registering from this point until then are not guaranteed t shirts and a spot in the contest (if the site they wish to participate at is full, they cannot compete).
  • All schools registering 4 or 5 teams, those teams have been accepted as of Friday.
  • You have the ability to register up to 5 teams for the contest, provided your site has room to accommodate them.  Each school has the opportunity to register 3 teams (room permitting at site), guaranteed, through Friday, October 28.  After this point, schools that want to register a 4th and/or 5th team will officially be allowed to do so.
  • For problems that require input, that input will come from stdin.  In previous years input was read from a file.  For more details, visit this link: http://www.acmicpc-pacnw.org/Docs/contest_details.htm
  • Each problem will have a time limit specific to that problem.  The time limit will be specified as part of each problem statement.  In past years all problems had a default time limit of 120 seconds.  For more details, visit this link: http://www.acmicpc-pacnw.org/Docs/contest_details.htm
  • Judge responses are expanded this year to attempt to provide better feedback on team submissions.  For more details, please visit this link: http://www.acmicpc-pacnw.org/Docs/judges_responses.htm
  • Contest start time has been moved back one hour relative to previous years.  This is to accommodate the Hawaii site so they do not have to register at 5am (now they can register at 6am :-).  Thus registration for mainland sites begins at 9am and the actual contest will start somewhere around 1pm.  For more details, please visit this link:  http://www.acmicpc-pacnw.org/details.htm
