Don Mills Programming Gala

As the school year comes to an end, we will be holding one final DMOPC in the form of the Don Mills Programming Gala.

This will be a live on-site competition and will take place at Don Mills Collegiate Institute on Thursday, April 25^th, 2019.

Schools wishing to provide their students with an opportunity to enrich their programming skills while competing against schools from across the GTA are invited to participate!

Contest

There will be a Bronze, Silver, and Gold division, with each having $6$ ~6~ problems. Any language supported by DMOJ may be used. A full list can be found here.

Bronze — the Bronze division will be roughly the difficulty of the Junior Division of the CCC and the Gr. 10 to 11 ICS curriculum. Only the last few questions require knowledge of array manipulation and sorting.
Silver — the Silver division is modeled after previous DMOPC Silver Division difficulties. Problems from past DMOPC contests can be found on the judge. Topics will range from intermediate logic to some more advanced algorithms.
Gold — for very experienced contest programmers highly confident in their programming ability. The Gold division provides an advanced problem set well beyond the curriculum and will contain problems of CCO and IOI difficulty.

Participants may decide which contest to participate in on the day of the competition.

To prepare for the contest, we strongly recommend solving past DMOPC, DMPG and CCC problems.
