A team will
be allowed an unlimited number of judged runs for each
of six contest problems.
Programs will
be judged right or wrong based on the specifications
of the problems. Formatting of output will not be a
criterion unless specifically stated.
During the contest,
teams will receive the result (correct or incorrect)
of each submission, with only the classification of
any error indicated in the case of incorrect submissions.
Decisions of
the judges are final.
Scoring Rules:
Teams will first
be ranked according to the number of problems solved
correctly.
Teams with the
same number of problems correct will be ranked by increasing
number of penalty points. For each correct problem the
penalty point increment will be determined by:
a. 1 point per minute to completion
b. +20 points for each incorrect submission.
The penalty
for incorrect submissions applies only to problems which
are eventually solved.
