Registration DAPC 2026
Also in 2026, the CHipCie will organize the Delft Algorithm Programming Contest (DAPC). This event is free for all TU Delft students. The best teams will qualify to represent the Delft University of Technology on the Benelux Algorithm Programming Contest (Leiden has not published their website for BAPC 2026 yet, check back later for an update).
The contest will take place on Saturday the 26th of September 2026. The program will be posted here on a later date.
For the contest, there are two types of teams. First are competing teams, which are eligible for the contest following the ICPC rules. This requires all team members to be a student at the Delft Universtity of Technology and meet at least one of the following conditions:
- First year of post-secondary studies in 2022 or later
- Born in 2003 or later
- Have not completed more than 240 points of ECTS
The full details can be found in last year’s eligibility tree (this year’s version should be published soon, but assume that the years are incremented by one and the branch for exactly 5 regionals becomes ineligible again). If you doubt you are eligible, feel free to contact us. In case that your team does not meet the eligibility requirements, you can participate as a spectator team.
Registration is done in the ICPC registration system, where all team members will need to make an account to sign up for the event. Registration is available for competing teams and spectator teams. When creating a team, DO tick the box “I will participate as both contestant and coach”. The person who creates your team, will initially be the “contestant coach” of this team.
The list of registered teams is publicly available.
For the best preparations, be sure to check out the archive, resources and a sample problem. A preliminary overview of the programming environment used during the contest is also available.
