South Pacific Programming Contests

ANZAC Contests

The ANZAC contests are practice contests for the ICPC that are open to teams in the South Pacific Region. It is preferred that teams compete on site at a university. Any university is welcome to host a site. The rules are the same as for the Divisional Finals, however an honour system is generally used when it’s not possible to supervise teams. Teams of three should compete in person (where possible) and only use the internet to access the contest platform.
