The CodeHurdle ICPC Mock Series is Here!

Hello, Codeforces!

We, amartya110 and mahesh_9996, are excited to introduce the CodeHurdle ICPC Mock Series 2026.

Every ICPC season, thousands of students solve random problems and participate in virtual contests. While this certainly improves problem-solving skills, the real ICPC is much more than algorithms—it's about teamwork, communication, contest strategy, and making decisions under pressure.

To help teams prepare in a more structured way, we've built the CodeHurdle ICPC Mock Series, a season-long contest series designed to simulate the ICPC experience.

What's Included?

13 Structured Mock Contests
8 Regional-Style ICPC Mocks
5 Preliminary Contests
Hosted on Codeforces
Detailed Editorials
Video Editorials
Performance Analytics
National Rankings

The objective isn't just to compete—it's to improve after every contest.
