NextTuring CP Individuals & Blindfolded – Event Overview Everything You Need to Know About the NextTuring Competitive Programming Challenge NextTuring brings the ultimate algorithmic battleground with a two-phase competitive programming showdown. Whether you're climbing the ranks on Codeforces or stepping into competitive programming for the first time, this event is designed to test your logic, speed, and mastery of data structures. This year features two tracks: NextTuring CP Individuals (standard competitive programming) NextTuring Blindfolded (memory + execution challenge) Phase 1: Online Qualifier Mode: Online Date: April 15, 2026 Time: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM Platform: Codeforces (subject to change) Registration Fee: ₹50 per participant Only the top performers will qualify for the offline finals. Phase 2: Offline Finals Mode: Offline Date: April 24, 2026 Time: To Be Announced Venue: Newton School of Technology, SVYASA, Mysore Road, Bengaluru Platform: Codeforces (subject to change) Perks for Finalists: Refreshments (water, snacks, juice) Exclusive tech goodies Theme & Skills Tested Participants will be challenged to: Understand complex logical constraints Break problems into efficient algorithms Handle edge cases effectively Optimize within strict time complexities like O(N) and O(N log N) Problem statements will be released at the contest start time. Competition Format: CP Individuals (Offline Finals) Duration: 3 Hours Style: ICPC-style contest Access: Full access to laptop and platform Scoring: Based on number of problems solved Tie-breaker: total time taken Penalties applied for incorrect submissions Competition Format: Blindfolded (Offline Finals) A high-intensity challenge testing memory and raw coding ability.
