It states US residents only,, yet the registration form has a choice for USA AND "other"... so I may need to inquire to get some clarification on that.

Also... Example problems
Once you have registered you will receive an e-mail with login information for the contest system that you can use to test the system and practice on last years' problems. The practice system will be open until 24 hours before the contest starts.
The contest will have problems similar in style to many other programming contests. If you haven't participated in programming contests previously, we recommend preparing by solving a few problems on the contest system.
