The website containing all detailed results of this international competition is available at: https://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/XCSP25 The organization of this 2025 competition involved the following tasks: adjusting general details (dates, tracks, .. . These instances can be found in this archive. Some (usually minor) differences may exist when compiling the models presented in this document and those that can be found in this archive. Remember that the complete description, Version 3.2, of the format (XCSP For the 2025 competition, 33 problems have been selected. They are succinctly presented in Table 1.1. For each problem, the type of the involved (global) constraints is indicated. At this point, do note that making a good selection of problems/instances is a difficult task. When table is followed by (), it means that starred tables are involved. It is always interesting to see how constraint solvers behave when the instances of a problem become harder and harder. This is what we call the scaling behavior of solvers.
