About
Programming Contests at UT is a chapter of the ICPC: International Collegiate Programming Contest.
The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an algorithmic programming contest for college students. Teams of three, representing their university, work to solve the most real-world problems, fostering collaboration, creativity, innovation, and the ability to perform under pressure. Through training and competition, teams challenge each other to raise the bar on the possible. Quite simply, it is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world.
The top teams from each regional contest from six different continents come together to compete by conquering the world's most challenging problem set. The goal is to earn the ultimate honor of being the best of the best problem solvers on the planet, the ICPC World Champions.
Last year, 140 teams from a field of 50,000 contestants in 111 countries on six continents advanced to the ICPC World Finals.

Regionals
- There are public tryouts a couple of weeks into the fall semester.
- We then ask students to fill out a form to apply for ICPC teams of three.
- Performance on the tryouts is one critical factor in determining who we select for our 12 teams.
- The teams compete against each other in the ICPC North America Qualifier (NAQ), and the top 4 teams go to regionals.
