Contest Rules

There will be two competition days. On each day, contestants will be given three tasks to complete in five hours, and each contestant has its own workstation.
There will be a two-hour practice competition prior to the first competition day. This will help contestants become familiar with the contest venue and the grading system.

Contestants can submit up to 50 solutions for each task. Testing Interface has some updates comparing to the previous years.
Contestant cannot carry watches of any type or snacks to the contest venue. Exceptions could be made by the IC for students with special dietary limitations.


In order to protect the confidentiality of competition tasks, any direct or indirect communication between contestants and team delegates is prohibited from the moment competition tasks are disclosed at GA meeting. This limitation will apply to both contest days and will last until the end of each 5-hour contest.
