The Contest
The North Western European Regional Contest (NWERC) is a contest in which teams from universities all over the North-Western part of Europe are served a series of algorithmic problems/puzzles. The goal of each team is to solve as many puzzles as possible within the set time limit. Solutions need to be programmed out on a computer and can be submitted to a semi-automated judging system, after which the solution is checked. The teams that have solved the most puzzles at the end of the contest qualify for the ICPC World Finals.
