Enjoys a reputation as "Olympics of Computing Software", this contest aims to foster creativity, teamwork, and innovation in building new software programs, and enables students to test their ability to perform under pressure. More than 300 universities nationwide such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University participated in this contest. Teams that won gold medals accounted for no more than 10% of all teams, with silver prizes less than 20% and bronze medals less than 30%.
