CSAcademy Round #9 + prizes

Revision ru2, by enot110, 2016-07-25 15:31:53

Hello, Codeforces!

I would like to invite you to participate in a new csacademy contest. Round #9 will take place on Tuesday, July/24/2016 16:00 (UTC). I will be one of the problem setters of these round, together with mgch and the CSA team. This round will also feature some money prizes, as follows:

  • First place: 125$
  • Second place: 100$
  • Third place: 75$
  • Fourth and fifth place: 50$
  • Two more special prizes, each consisting of 50$. The criteria for the special prizes is not chosen yet, but we will make it public after the contest.

This round will also feature problem statements in Russian. Many thanks to Yury_Bandarchuk for doing all the translation work!

Contest format:

  • You will have to solve 7 tasks in 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  • There will be full feedback throughout the entire contest.
  • Tasks will not have partial scoring, so you need to pass all test cases for a solution to count (ACM-ICPC-style).
  • Tasks will have dynamic scores. According to the number of users that solve a problem the score will vary between 100 and 1000.
  • Besides the score, each user will also get a penalty that is going to be used as a tie breaker.

About the penalty system:

  • Computed using the following formula: the minute of the last accepted solution + the penalty for each solved task. The penalty for a solved task is equal to log2 (no_of_submissions) * 5.
  • Solutions that don't compile or don't pass the example test cases are ignored.
  • Once you solve a task you can still resubmit. All the following solutions will be ignored for both the score and the penalty.

The CSA team still recommends using an updated version of Google Chrome. If you find any bugs please email them at contact@csacademy.com
