UWCOI 2021 is an OI-style contest hosted by the Computing Society of UWCSEA Dover which will be used to select members for the UWCSEA Dover team for the Singapore National Olympiad in Informatics for this year. It is also participated-in by several other schools in Singapore. The online replay contest will be held as a round rated for both divisions on CodeChef.

We have also held UWCOI 2020 around a year ago -- you can check out the problems here if you wish and get a feel for the contest.

  • Contest Format: 7 OI-style tasks (tasks have subtasks) in 3 hours.
  • There is no time penalty for non-accepted verdicts; however, time will be used as the tiebreak.
  • The contest is rated for both divisions (all ratings).
  • There may or may not be interactive questions.
  • The writers are smjleo, astoria and kimbj0709.
