Conduct of the Finals Scoring of the Finals Computing Environment
Mission
The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest is an activity of the ACM that providescollege students with an opportunity to demonstrate and sharpen their problem-solving andcomputing skills.
Introduction
The contest is a two-tiered competition among teams of students representing institutions ofhigher education. Teams first compete in Regional Contests, held around the world from Octoberto November each year. The winning team from each Regional Contest advances to the ACMInternational Collegiate Programming Contest World Finals, typically held in mid-February toearly March. Additional high-ranking teams may be invited to the World Finals as Wild Cardteams.
Organization
The Contest Steering Committee, chaired by the Contest Director, sets the policy and generalrules for the conduct of the contest. The Contest Director is solely responsible for interpreting therules and for ruling on unforeseen situations.
For each Regional Contest, the Contest Director appoints a Regional Contest Director who ischarged with executing a Regional Contest within rules and guidelines which have been approvedby the Contest Director. Regional rules may vary to accommodate differences in educationalsystems and host computing facilities.
World Finals Site
The World Finals will be held March 15-19, 2000, at the Radisson Hotel Universal Orlando inOrlando, Florida, USA.
World Finals Team Requirements
Teams advance to the World Finals through Regional Contests. The team coach is thepoint-of-contact prior to and during World Finals activities. The team coach is responsible forcompleting, correcting, signing, and delivering registration materials to the Contest Manager byJanuary 15, 2000. Teams failing to comply will be ruled ineligible to compete. Finalists arerequired to be student members of ACM.
A team advancing to the World Finals will be comprised of the same members as when itqualified. The only exception is when a team member is unwilling or unable to compete in theWorld Finals and the Contest Manager is notified in a timely manner. In this case, one and onlyone substitution may be made. Any other alterations to the World Finals team composition mustbe approved by the Contest Director. The resulting team must meet all eligibility requirements. Ateam member may not compete in more than two World Finals.
Finalists must attend all contest activities as specified by the Finals Director. These activitiesinclude Registration, Contest Orientation, the ACM World Finals, the ACM World FinalsCeremony, and the ACM World Finals Celebration. Failure to attend any of the designatedcontest events will result in disqualification and forfeiture of any scholarships and prizes. Coaches must be accessible during Registration, Contest Orientation, the ACM World Finals, andthe ACM World Finals Awards Ceremony.
World Finals Support and Prizes
Each finalist team will be provided with hotel accommodations consisting of two rooms for fournights, arriving March 15, 2000, and departing March 19, 2000. The teams and coaches will betreated to a full schedule of activities. Some additional travel funding is provided for finaliststraveling to Orlando from outside of North America.
The UPE Computer Science Honor Society provides $200 to each team attending the UPEBusiness Meeting on March 17, 2000, plus an additional $300 to teams representing institutionswith UPE chapters or who are in the process of establishing UPE chapters. Teams must attend theUPE Business Meeting to receive the UPE funds.
The top ten teams at the World Finals will be awarded scholarships of $9,000 for first place;$4,500 for second place; and $1,500 each for third through tenth places. Furthermore, The NorthAmerican Champions, the Latin American Champions, the European Champions, the SouthPacific Champions, and the Asian Champions will be recognized.
World Finals Computing Environment
The World Finals programming language tools include Pascal, C, C++, and Java. IBM willprovide development software for C, C++, and Java to Finalists with sufficient time to prepare forthe World Finals. Prior to the World Finals, the judges will have solved all problems in Pascal, C,C++, and Java.
Each team will use a single computer. All teams will have equivalent computing equipment.
Conduct of the World Finals
At least six problems will be posed.
Problems will be posed in English. During the contest, all communications from contest officialsto contestants will be in English. Each team may identify an interpreter for translating questionsposed by contestants to contest officials. Contestants may bring electronic natural languagetranslators provided that they do not support math operations.
Contestants may bring resource materials such as books, manuals, and program listings.Contestants may not bring any machine-readable versions of software or data. Contestants maynot bring their own computers, computer terminals or calculators.
Solutions to problems submitted for judging are called runs. Each run is judged as accepted orrejected, and the team is notified of the results. Rejected runs will be marked as follows:
run-time error●
time-limit exceeded●
wrong answer●
presentation error●
Notification of accepted runs will be suspended at the appropriate time to keep the final resultssecret. A general announcement to that effect will be made during the contest. Notification ofrejected runs will continue until the end of the contest.
A contestant may submit a claim of ambiguity or error in a problem statement by submitting aclarification request. If the Judges agree that an ambiguity or error exists, a clarification will beissued to all contestants.
Contestants are not to converse with anyone except members of their team and personneldesignated by the Finals Director. Systems support staff may advise contestants on system-relatedproblems such as explaining system error messages.
While the contest is scheduled to last five hours, the Finals Director has the authority to lengthenthe contest in the event of unforeseen difficulties. Should the Contest duration be altered, everyattempt will be made to notify contestants in a timely and uniform manner.
A team may be disqualified by the Finals Director for any activity that jeopardizes the WorldFinals such as dislodging extension cords, unauthorized modification of contest materials, ordistracting behavior.
Scoring of the World Finals
The World Finals Judges are solely responsible for determining the correctness of submitted runs.In consultation with the World Finals Judges, the Director of Judging is responsible fordetermining the winners of the World Finals. They are empowered to adjust for or adjudicateunforeseen events and conditions. Their decisions are final.
Teams are ranked according to the most problems solved. Teams placing in the first ten placeswho solve the same number of problems are ranked first by least total time and, if need be, by theearliest time of submittal of the last accepted run.
The total time is the sum of the time consumed for each problem solved. The time consumed for asolved problem is the time elapsed from the beginning of the contest to the submittal of the firstaccepted run plus 20 penalty minutes for every previously rejected run for that problem. There isno time consumed for a problem that is not solved.
In the event of a tie in the first ten places, benefits of the affected places will be pooled anddistributed evenly among the tying teams.
