Rules
The rules are modeled after the rules of the ICPC. We have summarized them below, but we reserve the right to modify them or refer to the ICPC's rules for guidance.
- Teams of up to three students, faculty, or staff may participate in the contest.
- The contest duration is 90 minutes. This is the maximum amount of time that participants will be able to submit solutions for judging.
- Submissions will be evaluated based on elapsed time from the start of the contest. If there are multiple problems, teams are evauluated by the total number of problems completed, then by the time needed to complete the problems.
- The use of online materials is restricted. Only online language resources such as the Java API will be allowed. Any printed reference materials are allowed.
- Each team may only use one computer.
- Any programming language is allowed, provided that it can compile and/or run on a CEC machine.
As of now, the CEC supports:
C, C++, Java 1.6, Ruby 1.8.5, Python 2.6, Perl 5, PLT Scheme, GNU Awk, PHP 5, LaTeX, PostScript, bash, csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh, MySQL, Pascal, x86 Assembly, Fortran, Tcl, and OCaml.
If you simply must use another language, complain to EIT! Teams with submissions that require compilation may be asked to provide a Makefile. - Teams may not use external libraries or any other pre-written code.
- The problem description will list the expected file names of your source file and the input and output files. If you do not follow these guidlines, your submission may not be accepted. Note that the naming conventions used for these files might differ from the naming conventions you normally use.
