The first SPAR of the year is running on March 8, starting at 12 noon AEDT. SPAR (South Pacific Algorithmic Rounds) (formerly ANZAC) is a series of practice contests for the ICPC, and you can self register and complete in a team of up to three people. The problem set will be available through the server, and several universities will run sites for the contest.
It’s a five hour contest, following the rules and format of the ICPC, and this first contest is intended to be at the easier end of the spectrum.

Good luck everyone!
