Hi All !!

Congratulations to all those who have cleared the SnackDown 2016 Pre-Elimination Round A and advanced to the SnackDown Elimination. For those who couldn’t compete/clear Pre-Elimination Round A, here is your chance to make it to the Elimination Round through Pre-Elimination Round B. The ranking criteria for this contest will be score based. And, top 1000 teams (other than top 1000, the teams solving problems same number of problems equal to 1000th team) will advance to the elimination round.

The CodeChef SnackDown 2016 Pre-Elimination Round B begins tomorrow i.e at 9 PM IST, 12th June.

  • Furthermore, this year, CodeChef will be inviting 52 team’s (top 25 global + top 25 Indian + all Girl team + Indian school team) for the onsite finals. Of these 52 teams, 32 teams (top 15 each Global & Indian + Girl + Indian school team) will get an all expense paid trip to India, while the remaining 20 teams will be provided with accommodation and local travel in India. However, if any of these 20 teams win the competition, their travel fair will be reimbursed as well. It’s a win-win situation.

  • The winning team shall win a whooping cash prize of $10,000.
