Example of Scoring

Consider a contest involving three contestants (A, B and C) in which three problems are posed.

 

Contestant A solves Problem Two after 60 minutes, with two judged runs, and Problem One after 120 minutes with 1 judged run. Although the contestant submits programs for the third problem three times, it is not solved.

Penalty Points for Contestant A:

Problem 1: 120 for time plus 0 for 0 extra judged runs totaling 120

Problem 2: 60 for time plus 20 for 1 extra judged run totaling 80

Problem 3: 0 (No penalty points assessed for problems not solved)

Total penalty points assessed is 200.


Contestant B solves Problem One after 60 minutes, with five judged runs. The second problem is not solved. The contestant solves the third problem after 180 minutes with 1 judged run.

Penalty Points for Contestant B:

Problem 1: 60 for time plus 80 for 4 extra judged runs totaling 140

Problem 2: 0

Problem 3: 180 for time plus 0 for 0 extra judged run totaling 180

Total penalty points assessed is 320.


Contestant C solves Problem Three after 60 minutes, with three judged runs, Problem One after 120 minutes with 3 three judged runs, and Problem Two after 180 minutes and 3 judged runs.

Penalty Points for Contestant C:

Problem 1: 120 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged runs totaling 160

Problem 2: 180 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged runs totaling 220

Problem 3: 60 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged run totaling 100

Total penalty points assessed is 480.


The final results of the contest are summarized below:

 

Place

Contestant

Number Solved

Penalty Points

1 C 3 480
2 A 2 200
3 B 2 320

 

Note that Contestant C wins as the one that has solved the most problems. Contestants A and B both solved two so the tie is broken with penalty points. Contestant A places second due to fewer penalty points than Contestant B.
