+# USACO
+
+Those interested in competitive programming should consider registering for the USA Computing Olympiad (USACO). USACO is a coding-based, algorithm intensive competitive programming platform conducted entirely online.
+
+## Competition Structure
+
+Participants compete during a three-hour window of their choosing over competition weekend each month. Acceptable programming languages include Java, C++, C, Python, or Pascal. All competitors begin in the Bronze Division, with advancement to Silver and Gold divisions based on performance. Exceptional Gold-level performers receive invitations to training camp for the international team.
+
+## Language Recommendation
+
+For those without programming experience, Java is suggested as an accessible starting point, particularly for those familiar with JavaScript.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+First-time participants are encouraged to review introductory pages on the main USACO website. It is important to actually read and try the instructions/problems on the first few training pages.
