Competition Details
Once you’ve registered for the contest, you’ll gain access to our Judge System. The Judge System is our online platform where you’ll form your team, join a Hub, practice, and compete during the rounds.

During the Online Qualifications, you’ll watch our YouTube livestream to be introduced to the problem, and your team will have four hours to solve an optimization problem using the programming language and tools of your choice.

Teams can also compete alongside other teams in your area by joining a virtual Hub. The top teams from the Online Qualifications will be invited to the virtual World Finals, where they’ll work together to solve another challenge and compete for cash prizes.
Virtual Hubs
For the Online Qualifications, your team can participate from anywhere using your own computer and internet connection.
To make this round even more exciting, you can participate with a virtual Hub. Virtuals Hubs are linked to offices, universities, and cities around the world so that teams can compete side-by-side.
