(no change) - Frequency of contests - We will hold AWTF once per year. - From August 2024 to December 2024, we will hold AGC once per month. The frequency of AGC in 2025 hasn't been decided yet. - We will hold ARC once or twice per month. At least 20 per year. - We will hold ABC almost every week. - Rated ranges (from AGC067/ARC184) - We will raise the lower bound of the rated range of AGC to 2000. (no upper bound) - We will raise the lower bound of the rated range of ARC to 1200. (The upper bound will remain 2799) - The rated range of ABC will be 0-1999. (no change) - The difficulties and the point values of ARC (From September 2024 / ARC 184) - The problems will be mainly adjusted for yellows and oranges. - If we predict that a problem will be solved by about half of the participants around rating 2000, we will usually assign 600 points to the problem (sometimes we may slightly adjust it for various reasons). Similarly, 2400 - 800, 2800 - 1000. - We will mainly use problems with 600 points or lower for A/B, problems between 600-1000 points for C/D/E, and problems with 1000 points or higher for F. - The difficulty of problems A/B/C/D will be similar to recent ARCs. E/F (especially E) will be easier.
