About This Competition
The JU Competitive Programming Contest (JUCPC) is the University of Jordan's qualifier within the ICPC, the International Competitive Programming Contest. Teams of three share a single machine and race to solve as many algorithmic problems as they can within a five-hour window, with a balloon delivered to the desk for every problem accepted. I competed in the 2018 edition on 6 April 2018 and again in the 2019 edition on 22 June 2019, where the contest was run under the ACPC, the Africa and Arab Collegiate Programming Championship, and I received two Certificates of Achievement.
