> competitive programming teams trying to dominate the most visible event What fantasy world is this? :D Competitive programming teams, afaik, exist in the context of universities and they want to win ACM-ICPC, that's pretty much it. Otherwise, competitive programming is largely a solo affair. In an event that yields no prize whatsoever, winning is just for bragging rights. There are no bragging rights in winning as a team against solo competitors. Also, you only have one problem per night and AoC problems are too easy for it to make sense to have a team collaborating. The only thing a team would do is take the minimum solution time of their participants.
