IT OLYMPIAD 2024
Contest Management System:
• PC^2 9.4.1

Conduct

Each team will be randomly assigned a workstation.


Teams will compete to solve 6-10 algorithmic problems in three (3) hours.

Each problem consists of the following:


• problem statement: a description of the problem (in English)
• input-output specifications: details on input and output format, including constraints which should be handled
(output must have an exact match with the format specification). Error in presentation error (e.g., too many
whitespaces) will yield a Wrong Answer response.
• sample input-output
• time limit: maximum time allowed for the program to run and produce the expected output

Teams may request for clarifications about the problems using the contest management system. If all judges agree
that ambiguity is present in the problem, a broadcast of the clarification will be made to all teams.

Should a contestant require use of the restroom during the contest proper, the contestant will be accompanied by a
designated usher.

Fair Competition

A team may be disqualified due to any form of cheating or any attempt at cheating. Submitting a solution which
is not made by your own team is considered cheating. A team may also be disqualified for any act that jeopardizes
the contest (e.g., hacking or tampering with equipment, dislodging electrical or network cables, distracting behavior,
etc.). All teams are expected to uphold sportsmanship and the spirit of fair competition.

Submission

Teams can submit their source code using the contest management system anytime during the contest period.

A problem is solved when it is accepted by the judges. To accept or reject a submission, judges will compile and test
the program with a different set of test data which have been prepared in advance.

Each submission will get one of the following responses:

1. Yes – Correct
The program produced the correct output within the specified run time and memory limits without any errors. This
program is accepted by the judges and the problem is considered as solved.

2. No – Wrong Answer
The program did not produce the correct output.

3. No – Runtime Error
The program crashed (runtime error) when processing the test data.

,
IT OLYMPIAD 2024
4. No – Time Limit Exceeded
The program took more than the specified time limit to produce output and properly terminate.

5. No – Compile Error
The submitted source code cannot be compiled.

6. No – Memory Limit Exceeded


The program used more memory than allowed.

No other details will be given to each response.

Teams are ranked according to the most number of problems solved. Teams who solve the same number of
problems are ranked by least total time. The total time is the sum of the time consumed for each solved problem (in
minutes and seconds). The time consumed for a solved problem is the time elapsed from the beginning of the
contest to the submission time of the accepted run, plus 20 penalty minutes for every rejected submission of that
problem.

All inquiries, concerns, and protests on the results must be brought to the attention of the Contest Director.

References and Materials
