Refer to the detailed contest general rules for a full explanation of what this means! All contest teams will consist of either 1-person or 2-persons, and all contest fees are included in your conference registration fee.

Good luck preparing for these contest events let alone planning on your 2005 trip to Atlanta, Georgia!.
Contest web sites featuring past contest problem statements/examples and solutions will be added to this page as they are created, are found and/or become available.
Regarding the BYOC Concept instituted for 2005:
Since the very first AITP National Collegiate Conference, the competitors that entered the various programming contests have always been allowed to bring their own manuals, printed code libraries/listings, technical documents, and other reference materials into the programming contests. They were simply not allowed to bring disks or diskettes into the competitions. The movement to the BYOC format simply eliminates the "typing contest" aspect of the NCC events so that the competitors can focus on the more substantial issues associated with producing functioning code for submission to the judges.
