ACM/ICPC Career Summary and retirement declaration-alpc55
Objective
It is long overdue to write this article, but also very do not want to write. After all, is to fight for two years of the goal, not to say willing to be willing to. However, after all, it is time to retreat, and instead of minced, it is better to swing the sleeves, still a handsome. Looking back on these two years, there are a lot to be summed up. Here is not the size of the record, perhaps a bit like journal, but more, is a memorable to the past.
Childhood
My ACM/ICPC career can be traced back to their high school competition, when the choice of the Oi, is entirely out of fun, do not work hard to learn something, only to be satisfied with the most basic problems do good, so in high school training team in the school also mixed in the medium does not slip. The most impressive is a high school coach organization we engaged in a ACM/ICPC simulation, then also do not understand what is ACM/ICPC, the sentence and timing are on the Blackboard manual operation. At that time, we counted the last three points together, also do not know how to cooperate, is immersed in bitter, the result is to take a first, the reason is that other teams either because the idea of disagreement quarrel went, or patronize the drilling problem to go. At that time the right to play, and no idea.
Later exam Noip of the first prize of the old end of the identity of the university, due to the flow of information is not smooth, big one by one years there is no ACM/ICPC news. Carefully calculated, I touch ACM/ICPC or later than the number of modules. Until the sophomore year-end zzn their first time to get qualify, the school had propaganda, then they know the original university can also engage in ACM/ICPC. At that time, ALPC10 presided over the propaganda, for the first time, I was exposed to such words as PC^2,POJ. So that winter vacation, I started to learn C + +, for the next year to prepare for the school race. Of course, that winter vacation actually did not do anything, the reason is that POJ is in accordance with the difficulty of arranging the problem, and then the card died in 1009 ... Later to break Usaco, is a blood pack ah ...
Holiday back, do school internal OJ, the first time saw ALPC12 and alpc62 strong. Later, the school qualifier was 12. At that time I just reluctantly squeezed into the threshold of the semi-finals, the heart has obsession Ah! Later school games, because the stuffy head regardless of judge when the impact of a breath to do down, pour also mixed a second prize, from now on the threshold of training team to enter the school qualifications.
Youth
When I first entered training team, I felt a deep feeling of helplessness between a group of cows. At that time, they are still very aggressive, especially determined with ALPC02 and 62 partners in the South, in order not to drag the hind legs too much, but also to do a lot of problems. At that time really is what algorithm will not, so put oneself position to simple question, take a poj simple problem list, brush down from beginning to end ... At that time the deepest impression is to do the night to do the early morning, day class sleep snoring ... But the hard work, now want to, their achievements, are from then lay the foundation.
Before and after the south, the most grateful is ALPC02 's guidance. His main focus on the simulation problem and code ability positioning, but also under the influence of 02. Later summer camp, but also by the ability of their own code to narrowly pass. Then the first decision is the provincial group, it is a great honor and ALPC05, 162 of the first Daniel together. At that time, the cooperation is very tacit understanding, because there are 05 of such algorithms Superman in, so long as the responsibility to deal with the simple problem is good. The national race was split into two halves, half with 01, 121, and half with 16 and 331 groups. Because his first year of strength is really bad, and regional before the puzzle stage in addition to the code ability is not too much improvement, so also to a certain extent dragged the hind legs of the team. So the first year to get a silver and a copper, is already a huge lucky.
After the end of the regional is a cooling period, the school of various chores up, all kinds of inspection ensued. Filled with warm blood some cooled, but the chest of flames still faintly burning ...
Prime
This year's ACM/ICPC career, can be said to start in a blow. In addition to the school game Lucky pulled a top, after the south, north, and Hangzhou Electric race is a crushing defeat. However, these defeats have made me more hopeful and more powerful this year. South of the race, because it is the first time to bring a team, and the strength gap in the team too large, resulting in a negative exchange, resulting in "1+1+1< tragedy." In the north, the combination should be said to be OK, but the division of labor is not clear, resulting in the feeling of not giving full force, it should be said "1+1+!>, but not much." Although only the silver medal, but the whole process is good. In the end of May, I started a big discussion on how to team up with other veteran training team. According to the previous view, the team is mainly to see the complementarity of the algorithm surface. Yet from the experience of ZZN their successes, it is not just that. From my understanding and Zzn's testimonials, ZZN himself in the main is to play the role of the organizer, do not knock the question, but can be good coordination of the team. I think if a team play to reach the "1+1+1>, then this is a good team." If you reach "1+1+1>=, that's regional's gold medal team." As for "The 1+1+1>= of the Divine ranks, it is possible to meet and not to ask."
and to make "1+1+1>=, to zzn the point of view, is to liberate a person from the team out." To tell the truth, originally I was somewhat dismissive of this point of view, also privately and 12, 62 they are about to team up. But the big Lake tournament changed my point of view. In that game, I and 42 and a new partner, starting with my previous views, take turns on the problem, the results are very bad. Later unconsciously changed to I was responsible for knocking and 42 thinking, the result is surprisingly good. Since then, I have felt that the team should not only be complementary to the algorithm, but also the role of positioning. I divide this role into the main knocking, the auxiliary knocking and dispatching. By the time the regional is near, the positioning is more pronounced after nybroplan=55+42+50 has been identified. That is, I am the main knock, 50 is a secondary knock, and 42 is responsible for dispatching. Judging by the effect of several practice games, it should be said to be good. It also makes me more hopeful about this year's results.
This year's fixtures have been relatively open, and the network qualifiers have come a little earlier than usual. It feels like our school's online qualifiers have always been bad, and we can't say why. After the team PK, however, at this time, I study in the school life to my competition has brought a certain negative impact, the most obvious, is no longer like last year as truancy to engage in training, and daily chores also more up, to the near regional sprint stage, but also only the night time can be used up. So really is helpless ah! But I am very grateful to training team others for my support and understanding, especially 42 and 50, when I am not in the time will be serious training.
The experience of going to Beijing did not say, anyway also has summed up. Later by training team entrusted to Hefei Rob Gold medal, also is fortunately not ruming. Then is Hangzhou, is also a farewell race, but the performance is really not good to see Ah! Hangzhou station has not been written summary, perhaps subconsciously a little want to escape from something! Ha ha!
The review is always to be reviewed. In a word, I am responsible for the weak performance of our main team. To tell the truth, because of the pressure of life and confidence in the team, I am close to regional when the effort is much lower than the previous year. And really to the arena, I have participated in the experience of a regional and did not bring enough useful guidance for this young team.
Old age
50 years of life, so to count, two years of time, also is long enough. Looking back on the road of the past two years, laughter is still the majority. A lot of friends asked me why I had to ACM/ICPC. In order to get to the big company? Not realistic. To protect the institute? That was enough for my first year of all kinds of competitions. To go abroad to final? Of course there will be such a dream, but has always been expected, after all, their strength is placed there. I do acm/icpc, or is our school really engaged in ACM/ICPC this group of alternative, are relying on the blood of cavity struggle. I am most touched by this spirit of selfless struggle. and ACM/ICPC process, know a lot of like-minded friends, their guidance and encouragement to me, but also I acm/icpc difficult to give up the reason.
Now it's time to say goodbye to this emotion. However, it is not so easy to take a swing of the sleeves. Maybe I can also be like ZZN, and a coach of the poor dry, or out of a topic. At least for the development of ALPC to make a modest effort ah! After all, this time out of hopeless, the development of ALPC or the impact is very big AH! So there is always a faint kind of feeling to compensate for something. Lianpo old, can you still eat? Perhaps the rice is not much, but to learn to fry a little side dish, also is good ah!
