2003 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest Sponsored by IBM
Asia-Specific Regional Contest Rules July 26, 2003
(* Indicates revision after April 1, 2003)
Mission
The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is an
activity of the ACM that provides college students with an opportunity
to demonstrate and sharpen their problem-solving and computing skills.
The ACM/ICPC Asia Regional Contests invite Asian students to meet,
establish friendships, and promote fair competition in programming.
I. Fundamentals of the Rules of ICPC Regional Contests
Rules for the Asia Regional Contests are additions to the rules of ACM
ICPC Regional Programming Contests (refer to hyperlink
http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/regionals/About.htm) and ICPC Steering
Committee Policies/Procedures (refer to hyperlink
http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/info/ppgs.pdf).
II. Additional Asia regional specific rules:
Regional Contest Organization and Administration
1. The Asia Region covers all territories and countries in Asia, such as
Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, North Korea, Japan, China, Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Burma,
Vietnam, Macau, Mongolia, Siberia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Israel, Iran,
Middle-Eastern, and Central Asian Countries, etc.
2. Asia Regional Contests do not divide the region by political
territories. A team that advances to the Contest Finals represents the
team’s university, not the team’s political boundary.
3. The contest is a two-to-four-tiered competition among teams of
students representing institutions of higher education. The first tier
includes the Regional Contests, which are held through November and
early December of each year. The top-scoring team from each site of the
Regional Contest automatically advances to the Contest Finals (the
second tier). A pre-regional tier is described in item 9 of this section
titled "Local Area and School Level Programming Contests".
4. The Asia Regional Contest is administered under the direction of the
"Asia Contests Director," who is charged with executing Regional
Contests within a set of rules and guidelines that have been approved by
the ACM ICPC Executive Director. The Asia Contests Director selects
several contest sites in Asia each year to hold the Asia Regional
Contests. The Asia Contests Director also appoints one Site Director to
head the Steering Committee for each contest site. Site Directors are
charged with responsibilities of planning, organizing and executing the
Regional Contest according to ACM/ICPC Contest Operational Guidelines.
5. Asia Super Region is organized as one single region -- Asia Region.
This unique regional organization in Asia promotes the cooperation of
all Asian contestants, and universities from all political boundaries.
6. The recommended organization of the Steering Committee for each site
usually consists of the following members:
Honorary Chairs (Optional)
Chair (Regional Contest Site Director)
Co-Chairs (Asia Contests Director is, by default, one of the Co-Chairs)
Committee Coordinator or Associate Site Director (optional)
Chief Judge and Judging Team
System (Hardware/Software) Chair
Registration Chair
Publicity Chair or Activities/Operation Chair
The Steering Committee for each contest site may implement additional
rules and a different committee organization pertaining to the contest
site. However, the consultation with the Asia Contests Director is
required prior to the establishment of such rules or organization.
7. (*) Each University or college in Asia can organize teams to
participate in the contests at any site. However, a contestant can
participate, at most, in two (2) Asian contest sites during a contest
year. A contestant may not compete in Regional Contests for more than
four (4) years. A contestant may not compete in World Finals for more
than two (2) times.
8. (*) Because of the problem of ‘no-shows’ by the foreign teams who
register and confirm participation but do not actually participate in
the contest, it was decided that: If such team do not cancel their
registration at least three (3) weeks before the contest date, and do
not show up in the contest, this team's contestants will be disqualified
for all other contest sites in the same contest year.
9. Local Area and School Level Programming Contests:
a. Each country or larger territory area may organize a local
programming contest with its winners advancing to the Regional Contest.
If the area organizes a local contest, the area’s local contest
committee decides the number of teams to participate in the regional
contest.
b. A University or college may have a School Level Programming Contest,
with its winners advancing to the Local Area Programming Contest (or
Asia Regional Contests). The winners of the Local Area Programming
Contest may advance to the Asia Regional Contest. A team may participate
in the Regional Contest, bypassing the School and/or Local Area levels,
with the approval of the Regional Contest Site Director.
10. (*) Internet Regional Contest and On-Site Regional
Contest:
ACM / ICPC Asia Region has grown substantially in recent years. On-Site
Regional Contest usually cannot accommodate large numbers of teams. It
is mandatory that each site accommodates all of qualified registrations.
To accomplish such goal, it is strongly recommended that each site
conducts two cycles of regional contests – Internet and On-Site. Each
site should conduct Internet Regional Contest in advance to select an
appropriate number of teams for the On-Site regional contest. Those
teams not selected for the On-Site Regional Contest will be ranked as
honorary mentioned teams in the Regional Final Ranking. Each Contest
Site Director may set up its own selection criteria for teams to be
advanced to On-Site Regional Contest. Contest Site Director may also
set up its own contest rules for the Internet Regional Contest, while
On-Site Regional Contest must follow Asia Rules and ICPC Regional
Contest Rules. It is also recommended that foreign teams may be
exempted from Internet Regional Contest.
If the total registration is low and all teams can be accommodated by
On-Site Regional Contest, the Internet Regional Contest may be skipped.
11. (*) The 2-4-5 Eligibility Rule:
All contestants are urged to study the 2-4-5 Eligibility Rule in ACM /
ICPC Regional Rules for the eligibility of all contestants through out
the world.
A student may compete in at most four of five
Consecutive Regional contests commencing with the
first regional contest held after the student
begins post-secondary (note: post-secondary means
after high school) studies at an institution of
higher education. A student who has competed in
two World Finals is no longer eligible to compete.
Please refer to ICPC Regional Rules for exception
and for approval procedure. During the transition
year of Oct/Nov 2003, the Contest Site Director
may allow the participation of a team created
within the framework of the old rule.
Remarks on 2-4-5 rule:
So technically, it is possible that a team may
Consist of three first-year graduate students if
each of them meets the 2-4-5 rule qualification
in a four-year program or university.
Participation of multiple sites for the same year
of Asia Regional Contest is considered as one-time
competition under the 2-4-5 eligibility rule.
Regional Contest Winning Team and Award
1. (*) The winning team of each contest will automatically advance to
the World Contest Finals and will receive partial travel support from
ACM and its sponsors. Additional wildcard berths in the World Finals may
be awarded to any contest team in a site with high registration count,
at the discretion of the Asia Contests Director. The wildcard teams,
with good performance, may or may not receive travel support to the
Contest Finals. However, the best team from the University hosting the
contest will have the higher priority in becoming the wildcard berth to
the contest finals if the following four conditions are met:
(1) No winning team comes from the University hosting the contest.
(2) The host university can become a wild card berth at most one time
for every three years of hosting and the university has not been a
wildcard berth for previous one or two times of hosting the contest.
(3) The host team is ranked in the top 5 in actual ranking for that
contest site.
(4) The wildcard berth has been allocated for that particular contest
site with high registration count.
2. A university or college can have at most one qualified team that
advances to the World Finals.
3. Any team qualified to advance to World Finals who have solved at
least one problem must have registered the team one week before the
contest date and must have completed the team information one week
before the contest. Failure in doing so will disqualify the team to the
World Finals.
4. (*) In an effort to encourage the participation of female students in
Asia Regional Contests, the Asia Regional Contests Director will award
each female contestant a cash award of $100 if (1) the team has three
female contestants; and (2) the team is ranked in the top 10 of actual
ranking and is the best female team in that contest site.
5. (*) Contestants who qualify for the World Finals in one of the Asian
sites cannot participate in other sites’ contests that are held later
on in the same contest year.
6. Each Contest Site Director may rank the teams approximately in the
top half. The rest of the teams will be acknowledged in alphabetical
order, but not ranked. The final ranking of the top half should combine
the rankings of universities as well as teams. Final standings will
first be ranked from the top team from each university/college. Other
teams from the same college will then be ranked as ties with that of the
next ranked team of another university. Each Contest Site Director may
select the first 6 or 10 universities to award special prizes.
7. (*) Team Members Substitution in World Finals and in Regional
Contest:
The team members for the team advanced to World Finals must be identical
to the members participated in the Regional Contest. No substitution or
reserves will be allowed in the World Finals. Any alteration on the
team will disqualify the team to the World Finals. However, Regional
Contest may allow reserve team member registration and may allow the
substitution of the team member in the regional contest provided that
the team composition change is entered in the ICPC registration web site
before the Regional Contest. Any change to the team after that regional
contest is not allowed.
8. (*) Visa preparation for the Advancing Team:
The team advanced to the World Finals must obtain passport immediately
and must apply visa as soon as possible. It is strongly recommended
that the team must prepare the following documents for Visa application,
especially to USA or Canada:
a. Print ACM / ICPC background information from ICPC website.
b. Read all Visa information from ICPC Website.
c. Present invitation letter and support letter from ICPC and the
support letter from IBM.
d. Get an official letter of support from your university for each
of your party.
e. Get an official letter of support from a political figure
supportive of your university.
f. If you have a scholarship or other grant that supports you as a
student, get an official letter verifying that fact.
g. Present the winning certificate.
h. Your and your family’s financial situation. For example, you
or your parents have a large amount of money in a savings account.
i. Present proof that you have traveled to other countries and you
have returned to your own country.
j. Present the letters from your university regarding your
financial support.
k. Present the letters from university for verifying the
contestants are full-time students and will obtain their degree from the
same university.
l. Detail schedule and air tickets for the trip.
Conduct and Scoring of the Contest
1. A minimum of six problems and a maximum of nine will be posted.
Contestants will have four hours and thirty minutes or five hours to
complete the problems.
2. (*) Contestants may bring their own keyboards. The team is
responsible for any trouble installing its own keyboards. Contest Site
Director may reject such request.
3. Electronic dictionaries are not allowed. Paper dictionaries, however,
are allowed. Contest Site Director may alter this rule; The World Finals
rule on reference materials may be different from this.
4. No personally owned diskettes or calculators are allowed.
5. Questions or requests written in a language other than English may be
made from contestants to designated translators and then to judges.
Judges will respond to contestants directly in English.
6. Notification of accepted runs may be suspended at the appropriate
time to keep the final results secret. A general announcement to that
effect will be made during the contest. Notification of rejected runs
will continue until the end of the contest.
7. Team numbers should be assigned randomly before the contest. Team
numbers should be used in PC^2. University names should not be used in
the PC^2 and should not be revealed to the judging team during the
contest. The Contest Site Director is responsible for posting the
matching list of team numbers and university names in the audience area
within 60 minutes after the contest starts. Contest Site Directors may
contact Asia Contests Director to find out an efficient way of random
assignment of team numbers.
Judging Team and Contest Problem Creation
1. The Chief Judge and Site Director of each contest site are
responsible for organizing the judging team. No member of the judging
team should be the coach of any contest team. It is highly recommended
that the judging team consist of faculties from other universities
and/or industry professionals. The use of an international judging team
is also encouraged, if possible. The size of the judging team is
recommended to be equal to the number of contest problems in the
contest.
2. The Chief Judge and Site Director of each contest site is responsible
for issuing "Call for Contest Problems" to university faculty members
and industrial professionals at least three months prior to the contest
date to solicit contest problems and solutions. The Chief Judge and the
judging team shall keep the submitted contest problems confidential. The
Chief Judge and the Contest Site Director make a final decision in
selecting the contest problems, in modifying the submitted contest
programs, or in adding additional contest problems. Except with special
approval from the Asia Contests Director, it is mandatory that no more
than one contest problem shall be selected from the same submitting
university or the same submitting industrial organization. To ensure
fairness, it is highly recommended that contest problems should not be
selected from universities who are participating in the contest.
Especially, the contest problem submitted by a team coach must not be
selected.
3. (*) Judges are encouraged to take care that there is one problem in
the set that is fairly easy, and at least one or two problems are medium
difficulty since the wild cards distribution formula will probably count
only the teams that have solved at least one problem.
Contest Environment
1. The contest language software will be made available by Contest Site
Director to the contestants in advance of the Regional Contests.
2. (*) The Contest Site Director, at his/her discretion, may choose to
provide each team with a sufficient number of diskettes for their use
during the contest.
3. More specific details on the contest environment, including RAM and
hardware configurations, software versions, and printers will be
announced by the Contest Site Director and may be different from those
used in World Finals. For example, World Finals uses Linux operating
system.
4. Contest judging software (e.g., PC^2) will be provided from ACM/ICPC
website http://www.ecs.csus.edu/pc2/pc2code.html
Registration Fee
The Steering Committee of each contest site determines the registration
fee of each team. In previous years, the regional registration fee
ranged from $0 to $150 around the world.
World Finals Dates for Teams Advanced
1. (*) The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest Finals
sponsored by IBM (World Finals) will be held in March 28 – April 1,
2004, in Prague, The Czech Republics.
2. The winning teams of the World Finals will most likely receive large
scholarships and prizes. For example, the March 1997 prizes ranged from
$1000 to $12000 USD for the top 10 winning teams in the World Finals.
Industrial Sponsorships
ACM/ICPC has received major sponsorship from IBM since July 1997 for
World Finals events, ICPC organization and regional contest activities,
and most of the software used for Regional Contests.
IBM also provides additional funds available to support part of the
regional contest activities for each site. The Asia Regional Contests
are self-supporting for each contest site. Each Regional Contest Site
Director is responsible for obtaining financial support from local
industries, government entities, and universities. The industrial
sponsorships of a few commercial companies for such financial
sponsorships are restricted. The Regional Contest Site Director is
recommended to find out such restrictions from the Asia Contests
Director. It is further required that the banner "ACM/ICPC sponsored by
IBM" must be displayed in a prominent place at the contest site.
All regional Contests must award ICPC certificates, use ICPC badges, and
provide conforming ICPC T-shirts. All Regional Contests must comply with
ICPC sponsoring agreements regardless of whether ICPC, IBM sponsor
funding, or local IBM funding is provided.
Guidelines for Travel Stipend for Foreign Teams
1. In order to encourage Asian teams to participate ICPC Asia contests
in a foreign country, the Asia Contests Director prepares limited budget
each year to tokenly support limited number of teams traveling to
foreign countries.
2. Subject to fund availability, the maximum supporting formula used
is: (a)The first team of a university receives $500, the second team
$300, and the third team $200 if the teams travel by air. These teams
include the participation of all sites by a university. (b) The support
is reduced by half if the travel is by land.
3. (*) After the Regional Contests, the Contest Site Director will send
the travel’s support application forms to foreign teams. The foreign
teams should send such support application to Asia Site Directors or
Asia Contests Director. There will be no surprise checks without
application after 2002 regional contests. Each site has a limited fund
set by Asia Contests Directors each year. The distribution of such fund
will be based on the total number of applications received.
4. (*) The distribution of such travel support is made by the following
priorities: (i) the support promised by Asia Site Directors (ii) the
support approved by Asia Contests Director (iii) the remaining amount is
distributed according to the contest ranking, and the needs of the
foreign teams, and the promotion direction of the future Asia contests.
5. The support checks will be issued after the contests are over and
written in University checks only. The checks will be issued to the team
coaches according to the data provided by the coaches during
registration and kept in ACM/ICPC web site detailed roster and by the
contest ranking of each site.
6. This Travel Stipend Policy is a guideline. Asia Contests Director
reserves the right to modify the guideline or not to issue any travel
supports.
Documents to be submitted by Contest Site Director
At the end of the contest, each Regional Site Director is required to
submit the following three items:
1. Contest Ranking: University names, problems solved, and time
consumed.
2. Contest Problems
3. At least ten photos containing contestant activities, and five photos
containing officer's activities. (Actual Photo or Web Site Photo only)
Items 1 and 2 must be created in the website of each contest site and
the links must be entered in the ACM/ICPC website within two days after
the contest.
