ZORIA Engineering Tournament: Gamification of System Development
UA SKILLS opens registration for a new experimental competition. The ZORIA tournament is based not on a fictional theory, but on a gamified simulation of a real engineering case.

About UA SKILLS
This is an independent engineering platform for developers, created for honest validation of Hard Skills. They don't sell courses, give lectures about "quick entry into IT" and don't give academic tasks that are detached from life. Instead, they build an environment where engineers test their solutions under load, improve their systems thinking and confirm their real grade.
The ZORIA engineering tournament is a 3-week challenge where it is not enough to simply write functional code - you need to build a decision-making strategy, take into account resource constraints, and develop a sustainable system.
Competition parameters and conditions
Practical basis: Simulation of an architectural problem from real production.
Code + Strategy + AI: The use of artificial intelligence tools is allowed and recommended as a tool for modeling, analytics, and expanding the capabilities of your algorithm.
Autonomous Evaluation: No human factor or subjective judging. All submissions are evaluated automatically based on logs, timings, and algorithm accuracy. "The Overseer has no favorites. He has a schedule."
Advice and tips: If you get stuck, the system will provide the necessary tips upon your request. However, each request is recorded in the final report and affects the final score.
