Description : |
| 1. |
Wiz-Pro is divided into two rounds – Prelims and Finals. |
| 2. |
Each round shall be contested by two participants. |
| 3. |
Each round would be of 2 hours duration and would have 4 problems of varying difficulty. |
| 4. |
The maximum marks are 500 for each round. Out of this, each problem would have 100 static marks (totaling up to 400) and 25 bonus marks. |
| 5. |
Bonus marks would depend upon how early you submit the program. For example, if you submit your program 24 minutes after the beginning of the contest, you would get (25 x (120 - 24))/120 i.e. 20 bonus marks for that program. The earlier you submit the program, your totals will increase. |
| 6. |
If you submit a program, and the program turns out to be wrong, your bonus marks would be reduced to 0 and further 10 marks would be reduced from your final total. You may resubmit the program but the marks which have been deducted will not be re-added to your reduced score. You may or may not be informed that your program is not working correctly. |
| 7. |
Submissions will occur over a secure LAN. No queries objecting to the security of our submission system will be entertained. |
| 8. |
Your programs must run on MS-DOS console. If a program fails to do so, it will be marked 0. |
| 9. |
The top 5 teams in prelims would qualify for the finals. (Please note that in case the boundary rankers have the same score, a tie breaker can be held. The rules for the tie breaker would be announced there and then). |
| 10. |
The programs made would be evaluated electronically, without the judges' intervention. Hence the factor of human error would be totally eliminated. Participants are free to inspect the judging system and point out errors, if any. |
| 11. |
The input and output format of the submitted program must exactly match the given format. In case anything other than the specified input and output is printed or accepted as an input, the program will be marked zero. |
| 12. |
All inputs and outputs would occur through the console. Hence file handling will not be required. However, in case a program attempts to access an external file awarding marks to that program would be under the sole discretion of the supervisor. |
| 13. |
Any attempts to fool the judging system or access files other than those specified will result in disqualification of that program. |
| 14. |
