About 2017 ACM-ICPC Indonesia Maranatha
2017 ACM-ICPC Indonesia Maranatha was a competitive programming (CP) competition in multi-provincial level for participants all over Indonesia. The team will continue their battle to ACM-ICPC in Asia-Pacific regional level after winning the multi-provincial level. The competition tested the participants’ logic and reasoning in programming by doing 12 algorithm questions in C, C++, Java or Python Language.
There were two phases of 2017 ACM-ICPC Indonesia Maranatha, the elimination and final phases. Elimination phase was done online on Saturday (08/07/17) at 13.00-17.00. Thereafter, 45 chosen finalists entered the final phase on Saturday-Sunday (05-06/08/17).
The Endeavor of Ainge WF and GituKanYa Teams
Their distance and tight schedules do not hinder them from winning. Members of Ainge WF kept staying in touch with each other online while doing self-practice, despite their respective activity and their different location: Tokyo, Jakarta, and Bandung. Even though their performance declined in the elimination round, their spirit and effort to be the best remained.
Up until the final hour of the final round, Ainge WF was still left behind. But they kept fighting on until the time was up. At the final hour, they finally turned the tide and was crowned the winner.
Similar to Ainge WF, the members of GituKanYa were also busy with their respective activity. Turfa, Jauhar, and Jonathan had to play the elimination phase without having a single meeting before. Only after the second day of the final did they all have meetings. Despite that situation, their effort paid off as they were able to be the 2nd runner-up in 2017 ACM-ICPC Indonesia Maranatha.
