Onsite regionals wound be great, but you have to remember the budget
issues that already affected GCJ 2009.
I would like to have a chance to go onsite (since I've manage to be in
the top500 in 2009), but I prefer to have a GJC 2010 without onsite
regionals than not having GCJ 2010 at all.
I'm
I agree. If regionals onsite are not possible, maybe arrange more
contests before the onsite finals would be interesting.

Hi I think this schedule has some problems - first of all it coincides
with Topcoder open. Second i think that summer is better for such kind
of a competition - July August maybe is the best. Many students have
their exams earlier and they are a large amount of the total count.

Ha, I liked another extra 30 minutes better because that actually
enabled me to solve another problem in a couple occasions.
Personally, I think 150 minutes give me the time to read over all the

little too short - may be I

I'm going to say something unpopular, but I'm OK with there being a
limited number of onsite placements. It seems to me that google has a
limited budget for code jam stuff, and for my particular taste, the
most important thing is the NUMBER OF CONTESTS they run. Flying,

Yes. Unfortunately, it does. Because final exams goes on for around 18-20
days theory and around 1 week practicals. In my university, the end semester
exams of theory will get over on 21 May. (This is a tentative date.)
Examination of other universities will also be conducted around this time,

For the qualification round and Round 1, there are several options each for
when you can participate. Do your exams and your conference (respectively)
make it impossible or undesirable to participate, even with the options?
It would not make it impossible, just more difficult. For example:
I just heard back regarding php|tek 2010 and it does end on May 21.
Therefore there is no conflict with Round 1B!

As I see, the quals is on thursday (India) . Like others from India, I
have exams during this time. If we could move the quals to a sat /

ends would give sufficient time.

The good thing if we have Onsite Regional is that the schedules can be
localized.
This will eliminate ALL time conflicts between different regions :)
So, it's good to consider more weight to Onsite Regionals ;))

OK, so far we have three common themes:
1. The finals are in the middle of northern-hemisphere summer vacations;
move them toward the end.
2. There should be regionals.
3. Quals and Round 1 are difficult to attend due to exams or conferences.
We'll pass all of this on to our master scheduler,
Of course, maybe Google's main goal is not to host as many people as
