ACM Contest Logistics

UO CIS and UO Information Services are hosting the ACM Pacific Region Programming Contest at the University of Oregon in Eugene on November 5, 2011. This is one of six sites where teams from the region compete to solve as many programming problems as they can during the five hour contest.

Travel and Lodging Information

Eugene is located on Interstate 5 about 110 miles south of Portland and 285 miles south of Seattle. Alaska Airlines has flights from Seattle and Portland, and United Airlines has flights from Portland and San Francisco. Amtrak provides rail service from Seattle and Portland. Click on these directions for details on how to get to Eugene and the UO campus.

We have reserved a block of rooms at:

Phoenix Inn Suites
850 Franklin Boulevard
Eugene, OR 97403
(541) 344-0001

This hotel is located a block from the northwest corner of the UO campus at Alder Street and Franklin Boulevard. It is just a few minutes walk from McKenzie Hall, and about a ten minute walk from Deschutes Hall. Rooms for contest attendees are $99 per room, per night (2 beds per room). Contact the hotel directly to make reservations, and indicate that you are with the ACM Programming Contest in order to get this rate. Make your reservation early, as the rooms are only guaranteed until October 22.

Contest and meeting sites

The Friday night pizza party will be held in Deschutes Hall, home of the CIS Department on the UO campus. Deschutes Hall is the second building in at the southwest corner of Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street. Construction of a new science building is underway north of Deschutes, so Deschutes must be approached on the south side from 13th Avenue.

On Saturday morning, registration for coaches and contestants will be in the hallway on the ground floor of McKenzie Hall. Bagels, coffee and juice will be provided. (Note that a continental breakfast at the Phoenix Inn is provided to guests staying there.) McKenzie Hall is a short walk east and south from the Phoenix Inn. Orientation will be at 9AM in room 129 on the ground floor of McKenzie. This will be followed by a practice session in the McKenzie Computer Lab (also on the ground floor of McKenzie). After a de-briefing in room 129, the contest itself will be held in the McKenzie Computer Lab. The McKenzie Computer Lab and administration of the contest software is being provided by the UO Information Services Department.

See this interactive campus map to locate Deschutes and McKenzie.

On Friday evening, you may park near Deschutes on 13^th Avenue in spaces marked as reserved from 7am-6pm M-F, or otherwise not marked as reserved at all times. There are also a number of spaces on 13^th between Deschutes and the EMU that are marked as car pool only - you may park in these spaces after 6PM Friday. On Saturday you can park in the lot north of McKenzie across 11^th Avenue. This is a UO lot for faculty and staff, but does not require a permit on Saturdays. (However, you cannot park in any space that is signed "Reserved at all times".)

Contest Schedule

Note - details of this schedule may change. Please check back two days before the contest for any additional final information.

Common schedule for all six sites. All times are Pacific Standard Time.
