Help UVa team attend SWERC 2018

Over the last 20 years, the University of Valladolid has attended the ICPC Southwestern European Regional Contest. The man behind that achievement was Prof. Miguel A. Revilla. Sadly, professor Revilla passed away a few months ago and, since then, no other person in the University is willing to take responsabilities on getting the team to compete in the SWERC. That basically means that no funding can be obtained from the University for the trip to Paris.

I just found out about this in the last days, when they gave their 'final' word, so the contestants have found themselves that, after months and months of hard work and training, they will not have the economical means to compete in about one month and a half. They feel devastated at this point.

Trying to right the wrong, the UVa Online Judge team has decided that we could try to raise the needed funds and sponsor the team on their way to France. If you've ever wanted to cooperate with the UVa OJ, this would be the perfect time. Remember that the funding won't go to the UVa OJ, but to sponsor the University of Valladolid team.

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.




To explain things a bit, the funding will be used for:

- Paying registration fees to the contest.
- Train tickets.
- Plane tickets.
- Hotel rooms.
- Meals.
- Other small expenses.
