Announcing SingleStore Start[c]up 2.0
SingleStore is excited to announce Start[c]up 2.0 – the second annual programming competition hosted by Codeforces with an onsite at SingleStore HQ in San Francisco, California.
Start[c]up 2.0 consists of two rounds. Round 1 is online and takes place on July 27th at 10:00 AM PST. Round 1 follows regular Codeforces rules and consists of 5 problems. For this round, the complexity of the problems will be comparable to a regular Codeforces round. There are no eligibility restrictions to participate in the round.
Round 2 takes place on August 10th at 10:00 AM PST, consists of 6 problems, and uses regular Codeforces rules. The complexity of the problems is higher than a regular Codeforces round. Only people who finished in the top 500 in Round 1 can participate. The top 100 in round 2 will receive a Start[c]up 2.0 T-shirt.
For Silicon Valley residents, SingleStore will be hosting up to 25 people on-site during the second round. The winner of the on-site round will be awarded a special prize.
