The super-regional tier of ICPC Asia Pacific will be called "The ICPC Asia Pacific Championship."
As this Super-Regional is invitational only, students from universities in West Pacific and Southeast Asia, including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Laos, will be able to participate in the ICPC Asia Pacific Championship through the regional contests.
