SingleStore is excited to announce start[c]up – a programming competition, hosted by Codeforces with an onsite at SingleStore HQ in San Francisco, California. Start[c]up consists of two rounds, both prepared by SingleStore engineers and follows regular Codeforces rules. The first round takes place on July 13 and the second round on August 3, with different levels of complexity. Participation is open to everyone except those who finished outside the top 500 in Round 1. The winner of the on-site round will receive a special prize. For Silicon Valley residents, SingleStore will host up to 25 people on-site during the second round, and the top 100 participants will receive a start[c]up T-shirt.
