ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest
2019 BOSPRE/PC

This year PC is one of the sites for the preliminary round of the the Northeast region of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.

BOSPRE 2019 is a cooperative effort between four host sites and Harvard, which provides judging and problems.

Note that you are responsible for reading all of the instructions in the BOSPRE website. This will save you headaches and, most importantly, time during the contest.

The contest will be held in the Ryan Center for Business which is just to the right of the Huxley Avenue entrance to the College. We will be in Ryan 106.

For those driving to the contest, see the College website for directions. Please use the Huxley Avenue Gate. The others will not get you to the contest easily. The guard at the gate will point out Ryan. Parking is next to the building in the Faculty lot.

For those coming by train, there is a local bus that is marked Providence College which stops at the train station. It will take you to the Huxley gate and the guard can point out Ryan.

The $75 per team fee may be paid in cash or by a check made out to Providence College.

Schedule for Oct 19, 2019. All events will be in Ryan 106.
