UKIEPC Spring Practice 2024

Our main information point is on Codeforces.

This page is mostly for the formal information and hosts.

For experienced competitive programmers: If you want to propose a problem please fill the following form.

Rules.

During the contest you will be given several problems. To solve a problem, you need to submit the code that reads a test from the system input and outputs an answer in the specified format in the system output. Then, the testing system runs the code on the tests, hidden from participants. We suggest all our participants to get familiar with the system on the test contest which is already running on Codeforces.

Solutions to problems submitted for judging are called runs. Each run is judged on the hidden tests and is accepted or rejected, while the team is notified of the results. Rejected runs will be marked with one of the following:

• compilation error (CE)
• run-time error (RTE)
• time-limit exceeded (TLE)
• wrong answer (WA)

Teams are ranked by:

• Number of problems solved. Higher is better. In case of tie, the penalty is considered.
• Penalty. Lower is better.
• Penalty is the sum of the times at which each problem was solved, in minutes.
• For each incorrect submission, a penalty of 20 minutes is added.
• Note that only problems which are solved are considered for calculating the penalty.
• Any extra submissions for a problem after it is solved are ignored.
• If a tie still remains, the time at which the last successful problem was solved is used. Lower is better.
