IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST : IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST Goals:
Give branches a new interesting and fun activity, while promoting interaction between Section, SB and University in both local and global scale.
Increase the number of activities aimed at computer programming fans in IEEE.
Be different from other competitions (like TopCoder or ACM’s) and from other IEEE activities
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST IEEE Xtreme is a worldwide contest in which teams of student members, supported by a Student Branch and proctored by an IEEE Member, compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST
Teams will be formed by up to 3 student members (StM or GSMs)
Student Branches will host the event for their local team, with support of their local Sections and Universities
Each of these places where competition is hosted (ranging from private residences or SB offices to College labs) is called a Venue
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST The problems will be proposed and judged by the Contest Committee, a panel of experts from both Academia and Industry
An Organization Committee formed by IEEE volunteers will take care of the management part of the contest (like enrollment or problem submission)
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST Teams should submit their problem solutions electronically using a contest management page
Each submission gets a timestamp (extra points for early submission)
Infrastructure should be put in place to solve possible bottlenecks (use distributed submission)
IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST: IEEE XTREME 24 HOUR PROGRAMMING CONTEST Winning teams will receive prizes and plaques, both for them and their schools (as we’re using their collaboration)
The recognition ceremony should probably be organized as part of a Region / Section event, and with collaboration from the Region / Section SAC, if possible
Our suggestion is that a funny prize is worth more than money (take into account the nature of the contest)
We can easily extend the contest format to include in-person finals if at any time we want to do so
