COLMEX CCC, an acronym for College of Mexico Computing Center Challenge, is an annual programming competition organized by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). The competition aims to promote excellence in programming and foster collaboration among students from various universities in Mexico and abroad.

Format

COLMEX CCC consists of two stages: a preliminary round and a final round. In the preliminary round, teams of three students solve a set of programming problems within a specified time limit. The top-scoring teams advance to the final round.

The final round is a 24-hour programming marathon, where teams compete to solve a series of more complex problems. The problems typically require advanced programming skills, such as algorithm design, data structures, and software engineering.

Scoring

Teams are awarded points based on the correctness and efficiency of their solutions. Each problem has a specified time limit, and penalties are applied for incorrect submissions. The team with the highest total score at the end of the competition is declared the winner.

Participation

COLMEX CCC is open to undergraduate and graduate students from any university. Teams typically consist of three members, but solo participants are also allowed. Participants can compete in one of two categories: university or open.

The university category is restricted to teams representing a specific university. The open category is open to all participants, regardless of their affiliation.

Prizes

The winning teams in both the university and open categories receive cash prizes and recognition. Additionally, the top-performing teams may be invited to participate in international programming competitions, such as the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC).

Significance

COLMEX CCC has played a significant role in promoting programming education in Mexico. The competition has helped to identify and develop talented programmers, who have gone on to successful careers in the technology industry. COLMEX CCC has also fostered a sense of community among programmers in Mexico and has contributed to the growth of the country's technology sector.
