About this opportunity

A two-hour online programming contest held every Wednesday on CodeChef, with tens of thousands of participants each week. Contestants are split into divisions by rating, so beginners and experienced coders each get problems at their level, and results count towards your CodeChef rating. It is scored IOI-style, with partial points for passing some tests and no penalty for wrong submissions.

Who can apply

Open to all programmers worldwide.
