REGULATION
Registrations
Registrations will be made through the link provided by the event organization. The acceptance or not of a team is subject to validation by the event organization, which may reject registrations. Completing the registration form does not guarantee the team's participation in the competition.
No fee will be charged for registering teams.
Formation of the teams
The teams consist of three people whose members must be studying or have a degree in a course related to the technology area. The competition is aimed at students from higher institutions typically in the area of computing (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, etc.) and related fields (Mathematics, Physics and Engineering). There are no impediments to the participation of students from other courses. There is no age limit for participation in the competition.
Contest format
The teams will receive a test with several problems that must be solved during 3 hours of competition. The problems must be solved in one of the available programming languages, C, C++, Python or Java. Teams will be able to solve a test problem in one programming language and another problem in another language, without prejudice. For the implementation, the teams will have at their disposal a computer and all the written material they want. However, they will not be able to make use of material stored digitally or have access to the Internet during the competition.
When a team judges that it has a program that solves a problem, it can submit it to correction by the judges, who compile and execute this program for a battery of tests unknown to the teams. A problem is considered solved if, for all battery tests, it returns the result expected by the judges. For each submission, the team receives a response, which may be satisfactory (and the problem is solved by the team) or indicates an error that has occurred, such as: wrong answer, execution time exceeded, execution error, compilation error, etc.
The winning team is the one that solves the most problems in the 3 hours of competition. Ties in the number of solved problems are ranked by corrected time. The one with the shortest corrected time wins. The team's corrected time is the sum of the corrected times and only the problems correctly solved by the team. The corrected time of a problem is given by the number of minutes elapsed from the start of the competition to the time of the first correct submission plus a penalty of 20 minutes for incorrect submission made previously in this problem. In the event of a tie, the team whose last correct submission was made earlier will be considered the winner. If the tie persists, you will move on to the penultimate correct submission, and so on. If the tie persists, the organization will draw a draw between the teams involved.
The competition organization is responsible for deciding any unforeseen case.
