World Finals 2025 Crystal Ball 🔮 Contest
According to tradition, we are going to host the World Finals 2025 Prediction Game.
Before the start of the contest session of The 49th ICPC World Finals, you can submit your predictions for the top 12 contestants in the upcoming competition.
You can make your predictions at: https://qoj.ac/voting_game/vote?competition=wf2025
The deadline to update your prediction is September 4th, 2025 at 3 P.M. (UTC +8). That is, the start of the contest session.
Rules:
You need to predict the 1st to 12th place winners. Each team can only be nominated once.
- For each contestant you nominate who finishes in the top 12, let $R$ be the actual rank of the contestant and $r$ be the rank you predicted, you earn $2 + (12 - |R-r|)$ points.
- You receive additional 2 points if you predicted the medal of that team correctly.
- You receive additional 2 points if you predicted the place of that team correctly. That is, you will get $2 + (12 - 0) + 2 + 2 = 18$ points for each exact prediction.
- For each contestant you nominate who finishes in the top 24 but not top 12, you earn 2 points.
- If you leave a rank blank (i.e., choose not to make a prediction for that rank), you receive 1 point for that empty slot.
Ranking:
Participants in the Prophet Game will be ranked first by their final score, and then by the time of last edit (earlier edits rank higher in case of a tie).
We will post the final leaderboard after the contest is over.
