Asia West Championship: March 2025

Team Selection Process:

This is considered to be similar to any regional contest, with the following exceptions:

1. Teams are invited to participate in the contest based on their performance in their respective regional contest sites.
2. Only the top few teams from each site will be selected for the contest.
3. Even though the Champion Team# of each site [the WINNER of the site] gets a slot in the World Finals, it is expected that all top-ranked teams of various sites of Asia West Continent will participate.
4. Any team of the Champion Institute [i.e., an institute that has at least one Champion Team] is not eligible to participate.
5. Team composition, under no circumstances, can be changed.
6. The number of teams to be selected from each site is based on the total number of teams that participated in the On-line contest and the On-site contest. The higher the value of the metric, the larger the number.
7. However, the minimum number of teams from each site that will be eligible is 3.
8. ONLY ONE TEAM PER INSTITUTE WILL BE SELECTED FOR THE CONTEST.
9. Contests of all sites are assumed to have the same degree of difficulty. In case of tie, the team having higher rank of a site will be selected.
