The Alberta Collegiate Programming Contest (ACPC) provides college students from Alberta with opportunities to interact with students from other universities and to sharpen and demonstrate their problem-solving, programming, and teamwork skills. The contest provides a platform for industry and academia to encourage and focus public attention on the next generation of computing professionals as they pursue excellence.

ACPC has been inspired by ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest and can be seen as its unoffical chapter.

The competition was quite fierce as with 15 minutes before the contest ended the order of these teams was reversed. The Calgary team incurred a large time penalty which can be at least partially attributed to a certain problem with judging (see here for some details).
