What we would like to see is that you share this with a broader audience (your friends and classmates) that wasn’t directly involved in the competition!
We believe that this could be very useful material for all the folks interested in these kinds of problems.

March 18st, 2011

Dear competitors,

We are proud to announce 4th edition of the Bubble Cup competition. The competition started locally, being aimed at Serbian students, and was designed as a training for the ACM ICPC. Starting 2009, the competition became regional, with Croatian and Romanian teams onboard.

This year we are happy to continue the tradition by keeping Bubble Cup competition regional – it is opened for anybody from Hungary to Greece, from Slovenia to Bulgaria! As in previous years, we’ll have two online qualifying rounds, followed with on-site Belgrade finals for 16 best teams. If you want to familiarize yourselves with competition, please visit the Rules section for more details and exact dates of qualifying rounds.

First round will start very soon – on the 1st of April. So, fasten your seat belts, we’re about to start! It’s good to know that you can register and start solving problems anytime during the first round, but we strongly recommend to start as soon as possible, in order to have enough time to submit high quality solutions.

The registration is now open, and we are looking forward to seeing you take on best competitive problem solvers in the qualification rounds. IMPORTANT: Former competitors (Bubble Cup v. 1 and 2) should register again for this year's competition.

Results and problem sets from previous editions are available on the archive page, and the problems from the finals are available on Z-Trening.
