LIT 2024
Hi everyone,
We have some updates about Standard Round.
Due to unforeseen
circumstances,
we will be postponing the Standard Round indefinitely. We want to provide high quality
problems for our contestants, and we need to continue preparing and testing the problems and
the platform.
Thank you to the 830 teams that participated in LIT CTF 2024! We are now working on
distributing prizes.
Thank you for your patience.
LIT 2024 🔥
LIT (Lexington Informatics Tournament) is a competitive programming tournament for contestants of all levels, hosted by members of the LexMACS club along with many guest problemsetters/testers.
Participants may form teams of up to three, solving challenges together. Teams will choose when
during the contest window to start the Standard Round. When the window ends, scores
will be compiled and we will release a leaderboard.
We also run a CTF Round, which will be open from 8/10 11am to 8/12 11:59pm ET
with a live scoreboard. Teams have all 3 days to work on it. Additionally, teams with exceptional
performance will also receive certain prizes. For more information about the two rounds, please
check the contest logistics.
Please join us in the
LIT Discord Server for the latest announcements, help, or team formation.

Traditional OI format can be boring — you are given some problems in a set amount of time, and you need to solve as many problems as possible. That is why, on top of a standard format OI contest, we have hosted a CTF round since LIT 2021 (learn more about contest logistics). Even if you are already familiar with competitive programming, we promise that the CTF round will provide a whole new refreshing experience.
