  • Registrations are open until 5 minutes before the contest starts. You can cancel registration anytime before the contest begins.
  • You can participate in the Arena without registering. In this case, your rating will not change.
  • Please note that your rating will change even if you don't make a submission in the arena if you're registered.

Additionally, the following terms apply for Arena with separate divisions.

  • Baekjoon Online Judge does not limit you from making submissions to other divisions while in contest. Make sure if you are making submissions to your registered division.
  • If there are problems that overlap with other divisions (including Easy/Hard versions, etc.), for the overlapping problems, you must not make submissions to the same problem in other divisions until you get the correct answer to the problem in which division you are registered in. In case of violation, the rating will be calculated as if no problems have been solved in this Arena.

Among the participants registered in the Arena, the top 3 on the scoreboard and 3 randomly selected participants will receive a metal badge commemorating their participation in the Arena as a small souvenir.
