Hey Everyone, Next week we are hosting SRM 800!
SRM 800 is not just any other SRM but a big milestone for the competitive programming community. We at Topcoder started SRMs back in 2001 to start a culture of fortnight rated contests and in these 20 years, Topcoder with the help of the community has successfully been able to organize 800 rounds.
This is a moment to cherish and celebrate all the contributions members have done over these years. It takes a lot to organise a round, from writers, testers, admins, editorialists, the product development team, to all the competitors who compete with all their passion and encouragement.
SRM 800 is taking place on February 13, 2021 and we are organizing a Virtual Party. Register Now! Join us as we celebrate this SRM milestone with a panel discussion with veterans including misof, Petr, neal_wu and tourist, a post-match analysis with our top problem writers, and some great informational sessions.
