The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an annual, multi-tier competition held amongst college students on a global scale, with world championships every year. Last year alone, around fifty thousand students from three thousand universities participated in ICPC regional competitions. Because of its significant size involving a lot of talent and skillful people, multiple stakeholders are interested in the competition. Each of the competitions results in scoreboards, containing valuable data about the performance of teams. This data however is, up till now, never collected and stored in an open and free repository. The ICPC does keep track of the basic information such as teams' names and their final scores, but more detailed information has remained scattered across the internet. This paper describes the data collected and cleaned from the European, Latin-American, North American, South Pacific and World Finals from 2012 to 2018, opening up research opportunities for an in-depth look into the programming competitions.
国际大学生程序设计竞赛是一项全球性的年度多层次大学生竞赛，每年举办世界锦标赛。仅去年一年，就有来自3000所大学的约5万名学生参加了ICPC区域竞赛。由于其规模庞大，涉及众多有才华和技能的人，多个利益相关者对该竞赛感兴趣。每次竞赛都会产生计分板，其中包含有关参赛团队表现的宝贵数据。然而，到目前为止，这些数据从未被收集并存储在一个开放且免费的存储库中。ICPC确实记录了诸如团队名称及其最终得分等基本信息，但更详细的信息仍分散在互联网上。本文描述了从2012年到2018年欧洲、拉丁美洲、北美、南太平洋和世界总决赛中收集和清理的数据，为深入研究程序设计竞赛开辟了研究机会。
