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.
