The USA Computing Olympiad is a computer programming contest open to all pre-college students. You will be presented with several problems for solution in each of two divisions. The USACO will conduct six Internet contests, the US Open, the USA Invitational Competition and the final round. The IOI 2006 will be held in Merida, Mexico and the USA Invitational Competition will be held in Colorado. The Internet competitions vary in entrance criteria, but all of the contests emphasize individual competition and programming. Results of this contest and other contests will be among the data used to choose USA delegates to the USA training camp and potentially to the IOI. The winners of both divisions will receive certificates.

 

Internet-based competitions are held Nov. 11-14, 2005, Dec 9-12, 2005, Jan 13-16, 2006, Feb. 10-13, 2003 and March 17-20, 2006. Please visit the sponsor's Web site for detailed information.
