ICPC Registration

In order to participate in an ANARC contest, you must register your team(s) in the ICPC registration system. This illustrated tutorial will guide you through the registration steps. It is assumed that this tutorial will be read by coaches.

The tutorial is divided into the following sections:

  1. Creating an ICPC Account & Logging In
  2. Creating Your Team and Requesting Reservation
  3. Sidebar: Returning to the Team Page
  4. Adding Team Members
  5. Completing Your Account Registration

Before you start, please note the following:

Creating an ICPC Account & Logging In

  1. Go to the ICPC website. Click here to open the website in a new window.
  2. If you already have an ICPC account, click on Login in the lower left corner, login, then skip to step 4. Otherwise, click on Sign up for ICPC.
    (Note than non of the old ICPC accounts (pre 2008) were transferred to the new registration system. You still need to create a new account even if you had a pre-2008 ICPC account.)

  3. Complete the "Add Personal Account" form then click "Save".
    Be extra careful when filling your email address. And remember: Don't use a password that is common with more critical accounts.

Creating Your Team and Requesting Reservation

  1. Now that you're registered (and logged in,) you'll be taken back to the main page, but this time the lower left corner should show "Create Team". Click on it!

  2. Enter the name of your team, choose your Institute, and click "Save".
    If you can't find your Institute, send an email to manager@icpc.baylor.edu (and cc rcd@icpc-anarc.org.)
    The color stuff is only useful when your team goes to the Finals but it doesn't hurt to select it now.

  3. Once the team information is saved, the next step is to request a reservation at the regional contest.
    Click "Add Reservation Now"

  4. Now you need to select the regional contest your team will compete in. Be careful when doing this step and make sure you select Arab and North Africa (found under Africa and the Middle East.)
    Once found, click on the AAST site.

  5. In the following page, double check that you've selected the correct regional and site. If so, click "Yes".

Sidebar: Returning to the Team Page

It is safe to logout at this point and continue adding team information at a later point. (If you decide to just continue, jump to step 12.)
If you just logged in and you wish to continue adding team information, follow these steps:
  1. When you login again into the system, the upper right corner of the main page would show two links: "Dashboard" and "Logout". Clicking the "Dashboard" link displays the list of teams you've already created.

  2. Click the team name to go to the team information page.

  3. Click "Show Details" to go to the team members page.

Adding Team Members

  1. The next step is to add contestants to your team. To do so, Click "New/Existing Person" link.

  2. If the person already has an ICPC account, you can search for them by email. Otherwise, you need to enter their email, first, and last name.
    In this example, we'll assume you're entering a first-time contestant. Enter all information then click "Search".

  3. Specify the Role of this person within the team: Contestant, Reserve, or Attendee. Click "Save"

    4. Note that a newly added person will be sent an email instructing them on how to complete their registration (as explained below.) Please make sure that all persons in your team(s) do so. A Team's reservation remains "Pending" until all correct information has been entered.

  4. This should take you back to step 12 where you can another person to your team. We'll continue here with an example involving a person that has already been defined. Click "New/Existing Person" (as in step 12) then fill the search form:

  5. If the entered email is found in the ICPC registration system, you'll get the following page. Select the correct person, set their Team Role, then click "Save".

  6. That's about it. Repeat steps 12--16 until all persons in your team have been defined. Repeat steps 4--16 to add more team(s).

Completing Your Account Registration

When a coach create a new account for a person on their team, that person should receive an email (similar to the one shown below) instructing them how to complete their registration. Completing the registration for every person on the team is a precondition to switching that team's reservation status to "Accepted".

  1. Go to the ICPC website. Click here to open the website in a new window.
    Login using the credentials you either registered with or were emailed to you.
    (Once logged in, the ICPC main page should have a "Profile" link in the upper-right corner.)
    Click "Profile".

  2. In addition to the information shown earlier (in step 3,) it is important that all contestants fill information concerning their Degree, Birthday, Shirt Size, and Contact Information. It is possible for contestants to correct their Badge Name.
    It is vital for contestants and coaches to be aware that the contest badges and, more importantly, contest certificates are generated automatically from the data entered in the registration system. It is the team's responsibility to make sure that their certificate is generated as they wish it to be.

  3. If you want to change your password, check the profile menu (upper-right section of the profile page.)
