How do I register a team for the contest?

  • Registration for the Pacific Region Contest is a two part process.
    • First, you need to "reserve" a spot by registering your team(s) on-line with ACM-ICPC - up to 3 teams per school. (See the link below)
    • Then, you must confirm your registration by sending to the Regional Director a check or money order with the registration fee of $50 for each team. (The confirmation form can be printed from this web site. See below.)
       
  • Each team must have a faculty sponsor/advisor (who may also be the coach). Among other things, the sponsor's signature certifies that the team members meet the contest eligibility requirements. The sponsor or the coach (if s/he is a faculty member) must accompany the team to the contest site. That is, each team must be accompanied by a faculty member from their institution.

LATE FEES ARE NO LONGER APPLIED. However, you must still have your team member names entered by Nov. 5, and if you register later than 10/25 there is no guarantee your team will receive t-shirts, or the correct size, and you are not assured of participation in the contest, due to space limitations..

What happens when more teams want to enter than there is space to accommodate?

One of ACM and our goals is to have as many schools as possible compete in the Contest. Depending on the resources at the volunteer host sites (How Can My School Be a Volunteer Site?), it may not be possible to register more than one team from a school.

In an attempt to be as fair as possible, the Pacific Region has adopted the following policy:

If more teams have requested to register than there are slots available:

  • Registration requests will be prioritized by postmark, through the registration deadline. Each institution's #1 team will be registered, then available slots will be filled by #2 teams, and then the #3 teams, in the same order. Teams who have submitted their registrations by the deadline will be notified of their status at this time.
  • Teams whose registrations are postmarked after the registration date will be placed in any remaining slots, by the same algorithm. They will be notified as soon as possible if slots are available.

Can a team register at the site on the day of the Contest?

NO.

Online reservation must take place before Oct. 25 to be considered "on time"*. Teams who do not reserve by this date are considered late and must pay a fee of $75 and may NOT receive t-shirts, and may not be guaranteed a place in the contest. (Checks must be received by Oct. 23, and are non-refundable.) Until a check is received, your registration status is "pending" and your team is NOT eligible to compete. *NOTE: Team member names do NOT have to be completed to register! HOWEVER, team names and COMPLETE info must be completed by Oct. 29. Teams w/o complete team member information will be ineligible to compete.
