==History==
The ICPC traces its roots to a competition held at [[Texas A&M University]] in 1970 hosted by the Alpha chapter of the [[Upsilon Pi Epsilon]] Computer Science Honor Society (UPE). This initial programming competition was titled First Annual Texas Collegiate Programming Championship and each university was represented by a team of up to five members. The computer used was a [[IBM System 360|IBM System/360 model 65]] which was one of the first machines with a DAT (Dynamic Address Translator aka "paging") system for accessing memory. Teams that participated included Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Houston, and five or six other Texas University / Colleges. There were three problems that had to be completed and the cumulative time from "start" to "successful completion" determined first-, second-, and third-place winners. The programming language used was [[Fortran]]. The programs were written on coding sheets, keypunched on [[Hollerith card]]s, and submitted for execution. The [[University of Houston]] team won the competition completing all three problems successfully with time. The second- and third-place teams did not successfully complete all three problems. The contest evolved into its present form as a multi-tier competition in 1977, with the first finals held in conjunction with the ACM Computer Science Conference.
From 1977 to 1989, the contest included mainly teams of four from universities throughout the United States and Canada. ICPC Headquarters was hosted by [[Baylor University]] from 1989 until 2022, with regional contests established within the world's university community, the ICPC has grown into a worldwide competition. To increase access to the World Finals, teams were reduced to three students within their first five academic years.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}
From 1997 to 2017, [[IBM|International Business Machines Corporation]] (IBM) was the sponsor of ICPC. During that time contest participation has grown by more than 2000%. In 1997, 840 teams from 560 universities participated. In 2017, 46,381 students from 2,948 universities in 103 countries on six continents participated in regional competitions. Organized as a highly localized extra-curricular university mind sport and operating as a globally-coordinated unincorporated association operating under agreements with host universities and non-profits, the ICPC is open to qualified teams from every university in the world.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
UPE has provided continuous support since 1970 and honored World Finalists since the first Finals in 1976. The ICPC is indebted to ACM member contributions and ACM assistance from 1976 to 2018. Baylor University served since 1985, hosting ICPC Headquarters from 1989 until 2022. The ICPC operates under the auspices of the ICPC Foundation which provides the ICPC Global Headquarters to service a globally-coordinated community whose events operate under agreements with host universities and non-profits to insure that participation in ICPC is open to qualified teams from every university in the world. See ICPC Policies and Procedures.<ref name="icpcpp"/>
The ICPC World Finals (The Annual World Finals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest) is the final round of competition. Over its history it has become a 4-day event held in the finest venues worldwide with 140 teams competing in the 2018 World Finals. Recent World Champion teams have been recognized by their country's head of state. In recent years, media impressions have hovered at the one billion mark.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
From 2000 to 2022, only teams from [[Russia]], [[China]], and [[Poland]] have won the ICPC world finals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ICPC |url=https://icpc.global/static/media/mainLogoMobile.12b91576.png |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=icpc.global |language=en}}</ref> Participation in [[North America]] is much smaller than in the rest of the world, which is partially attributed to the perceived low payoff of participating.<ref name="sigcse16">{{cite journal |url=https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~borja/pubs/sigcse2016-programming-contests.pdf |title=A Programming Contest Strategy Guide |first1=Aaron |last1=Bloomfield |first2=Borja |last2=Sotomayor |journal=SIGCSE '16: Proceedings of the 47th ACM Technical Symposium on Computing Science Education |access-date=2020-03-15 |archive-date=2020-03-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200320230414/https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~borja/pubs/sigcse2016-programming-contests.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
==Contest rules==
ICPC contests are team competitions. Current rules stipulate that each team consist of three students. Participants must be university students, who have had less than five years of university education before the contest. Students who have previously competed in two World Finals or five regional competitions are ineligible to compete again.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://icpc.global/icpc/info/default.htm|title=Information - ICPC|access-date=2008-06-10| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080616223212/https://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/info/default.htm| archive-date= 16 June 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://icpc.global/icpc/Regionals/EligibilityDecisionTree.pdf|title=2008 ICPC Regionals Eligibility Decision Diagram|access-date=2008-06-10|archive-date=2005-11-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051118030142/https://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/regionals/EligibilityDecisionTree.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
During each contest, the teams of three are given 5 hours to solve between eight and fifteen programming problems (with eight typical for regionals and twelve for finals). They must submit solutions as programs in [[C (programming language)|C]], [[C++]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Ada (programming language)|Ada]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://acmgnyr.org/year2019/rules.shtml|title=2019 ICPC Greater New York Region: Rules|access-date=2019-11-09|archive-date=2022-03-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307092632/https://acmgnyr.org/year2019/rules.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Python (programming language)|Python]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/44899|title=Python at ICPC world finals 2017 - Codeforces|website=Codeforces|access-date=2016-07-01|archive-date=2016-06-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160622113130/https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/44899|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://icpc.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/rules_winter15.php|title=ACM ICPC meets FAU|last=team|first=ICPC|website=icpc.informatik.uni-erlangen.de|access-date=2016-07-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914122237/https://icpc.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/rules_winter15.php|archive-date=2016-09-14|url-status=dead}}</ref> or [[Kotlin (programming language)|Kotlin]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://icpc.global/worldfinals/programming-environment |title=Programming Environment |access-date=2017-10-10 |archive-date=2017-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210000203/https://icpc.baylor.edu/worldfinals/programming-environment |url-status=live }}</ref> (although it is not guaranteed every problem is solvable in any certain language, the ICPC website states that "the judges will have solved all problems in Java and C++" for both regional and world finals competitions). Programs are then run on test data. If a program fails to give a correct answer, the team is notified and can submit another program.
The winner is the team which correctly solves the most problems. If necessary to rank teams for medals or prizes among tying teams, the placement of teams is determined by the sum of the elapsed times at each point that they submitted correct solutions plus 20 minutes for each rejected submission of a problem ultimately solved. There is no time consumed for a problem that is not solved.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://icpc.global/regionals/rules |title=The ICPC International Collegiate Programming Contest |access-date=2019-11-09 |archive-date=2019-11-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191104001509/https://icpc.baylor.edu/regionals/rules |url-status=live }}</ref>
Compared to other programming contests (for example, [[International Olympiad in Informatics]]), the ICPC is characterized by a large number of problems (eight or more problems in just 5 hours). Another feature is that each team can use only one computer, although teams have three students. This makes the time pressure even greater. Good teamwork and ability to withstand pressure is needed to win.

=== World Finals Luxor (2022 & 2023) ===
To synchronize with the schedule after all rescheduling because of [[Covid-19 pandemic]] both 46-th and 47-th world finals were scheduled to take place in the same time in November 2023 in [[Sharm El Sheikh]]. Because of [[Gaza war]] and related safety concerns, it was rescheduled once again and finally happened in [[Luxor]] in April from 14th to 19 April 2024. To avoid confusion about dates, the event was referred to as World Finals Luxor (World Finals Sharm before rescheduling), with two competitions as 46th and 47th separately, if needed, in all official materials.
Two competitions were held in parallel, with intersecting problem sets. In 47-th finals, due to very close results (less than 40 penalty minutes difference between 12 and 16 place), additional bronze medals were awarded at the next finals in Astana.
