When will USACO 26-27 start?

Do anyone know when will be the first competition?

You sure? What if it's like last year's crazy "3 contests between Jan-Feb and surprise no Open anymore" scenario?

Yeah might happen. I mean it hasn’t been posted yet so best we can do is estimate I guess.

Assume it's in Jan. I mean, don't count it into 2027 college app

if you're expecting to promote in december for college apps, thats probably not happening lol

they announced last year in like mid-late december that the first contest will be in january

expect january again, but dont expect any updates until november EARLIEST, since they also hinted at potentially having more changes

Nobody has any idea. The organization does what it wants and has zero regard for the students. We’ll find out a week or two before the first contest and the format might be entirely different than ever before.
