Utilize the web-based contest environment for code writing, compilation, running, testing, and submission.

On the contest day in the JBHT building, contestants will have access to only the contest URL and no other websites (including CodeChef.com pages).

Coaches are responsible for registering CodeChef accounts.
- One account per team of up to 3 members.
Each team will use the registered account to submit codes during the contest.
Each individual (students, coaches, visitors) attending the contest must fill out the Qualtrics Registration Form in order to attend. CodeChef usernames are required before filling out the form.

Each problem will have a Title, Statement, Input, and expected Output formats. Input constraints are optional.
Contestants should refer to the CodeChef practice problems to familiarize themselves with the problem structure.

ACM ICPC Style Ranklist will be utilized.

Teams will be ranked based on the score.
In the case of a tie, rankings will be determined by ‘Total Penalty,’ calculated as the sum of the time elapsed when submitting the correct solution and a penalty of 20 minutes for every rejected submission (Wrong answer, Runtime error, Time limit exceeded) for solved problem. Lower ‘Total Penalty’ ranks higher.
Total time is the time taken to solve a problem since the start of the contest.
Compilation Errors do not contribute towards the 20-minute penalty.
Time elapsed or penalty is not considered for any unsolved problem.
