| 91 | + <li>Send an e-mail to ncpc-info, letting people know the contest is up to |
| 92 | + speed.</li> |
| 93 | + <li>Set up a communication channel to use during the contest. Preferrably |
| 94 | + an IRC channel on a server which is not in a network.</li> |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +</ul> |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +<h2>During the contest</h2> |
| 99 | +<ul> |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Kattis accounts for the contestants will be sent to you tomorrow. You will also receive 5 extra account for last minute teams or other unexpected events. Information about how to obtain a judge account for Kattis will be provided later. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +Here are some instructions regarding Saturday: |
| 104 | +1. Make sure that each contestant account is reset and only contains |
| 105 | + the sample input and output for all problems (will be distributed |
| 106 | + with the problem set tomorrow). I suggest you create one directory |
| 107 | + for each problem. At each work station place three copies of the |
| 108 | + problem set in an envelop. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +2. Read the rules and inform the contestants before the competition |
| 111 | + about what is allowed and what is not. For example, it is not |
| 112 | + allowed to use any other programming languages and code generation |
| 113 | + tools besides C/C++/Java. The teams are allowed to use those |
| 114 | + shells, editors and IDEs that you provide them with. However |
| 115 | + Python, Perl, lex, yacc and so on are not allowed. The contestants |
| 116 | + may use the documentation provided in Kattis (including STL and Java |
| 117 | + doc) as well as man pages if you have them. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +3. Before the competition starts the contestants are allowed to log |
| 120 | + in, start a browser, start an editor if they want and log in on |
| 121 | + Kattis (https://ncpc12.contest.scrool.se/). Nothing else. No |
| 122 | + configuration files may be edited and the problem set is not to be |
| 123 | + touched. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +4. All contest directors should report to me that they are ready to |
| 126 | + start the competition at the latest 10.50 Swedish time. If you have |
| 127 | + problems please report those as soon as possible. You can report on |
| 128 | + the IRC channel (irc.acc.umu.se#ncpc), through email |
| 129 | + ( [email protected]), or by calling me (+46-70-207 43 88). Since |
| 130 | + there are many sites this year we will probably start the contest |
| 131 | + even if one or two sites are silent. Unless something unexpected |
| 132 | + happens KTH will make a countdown on the IRC channel and at 11.00.00 |
| 133 | + local KTH time the competition will start. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +5. When the contest is started the contestants are allowed to open the |
| 136 | + problem set and start using the computer. Do your best to monitor |
| 137 | + that they do not use any illegal programs or surf the web. All the |
| 138 | + documentation that they are allowed to use is linked from their |
| 139 | + Kattis account. |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +6. All clarifications are handled through Kattis. The head judges Jon |
| 142 | + Marius Venstad and Tommy Färnqvist are responsible for answering all |
| 143 | + clarifications. They might be discussed on IRC if needed. If the |
| 144 | + answer is of general interest then an email will be sent to all |
| 145 | + directors. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +7. When the competition is over and the final result is ready, I will |
| 148 | + announce it on IRC and to all directors by email. This is expected |
| 149 | + to be shortly after 16.00 unless something unexpected happens. |
