Computer+Competition

COMPUTER COMPETITION Places 1-10 and team members (  **  Not  **  included in Sweepstakes) The one hour computer programming competition will consist of a set of problems for which teams must write programs to process specific input and display correct output for all cases provided by the judges. Data on the judges’ sheet will be delimited by commas, but teams may delimit data in a way appropriate to their language (i.e. separated by spaces). The problems will be of varying difficulty and will have appropriate point values assigned to each. The problems may be solved in any order. Ties will be broken by the sudden death method starting with problem 1. Each school is limited to one team of three members and one computer. Each school must supply its own computer, extension cord, and power strip. (Note: Schools need BOTH an extension cord AND a power strip) Programs may be written in Java, C/C++, Basic or Pascal. No calculators, cell phones or internet use is permitted. Each team is allowed one electronic or printed language reference source. (For example, the Java API’s may be installed on the computer.) Judges reserve the right to accept or deny the use of any language reference materials. Teams should present their reference materials for approval before the contest begins. Teams are not permitted to use any prewritten code. All disputes must be submitted immediately after the judging of the contest. Contest judges will determine the validity of all disputes. The decision of the judges is final.
