Round Details
Round 1: Coding & Mini-Games (45 minutes)
Format: Each team consists of two participants: Coder and Player.
Objective: Solve a mathematical expression through coding and participate in a mini-game challenge.
Part 1 - Blind Coding:
Task: Coder has 10 minutes to blind code a solution to a provided mathematical expression using C++. After 10 minutes, the code is tested.
Points: 30
Advantage: The top 6 teams get a 10-minute advantage in the next round.
Elimination: The top 12 teams advance to Round 2.
Part 2 - Mini-Game:
Task: Player participates in a mini-game similar to 'minute to win it' challenges for 10 minutes.
Points: Up to 20
Round 2: Solve the Error (20 minutes)
Format: Teams are given a slightly complex logical problem with errors in a provided program.
Objective: Identify and correct the errors to ensure the program runs successfully.
Task: Both Coder and Player work together to debug and correct the provided program. The Player assists by reviewing the logic and suggesting possible corrections.
Points: 40
Advantage: The top 4 teams receive an additional 5 minutes in the final round.
Elimination: The top 6 teams proceed to Round 3.
Round 3: Coding Showdown (1 hour)
Format: A coding challenge where both participants tackle normal coding questions.
Objective: Solve as many coding problems as possible within the given time.
Task: Coder and Player decide whether to work separately on different problems or together on the same problems. The Player can assist by testing the solutions or suggesting strategies but cannot code.
Points: Points are awarded based on the number and complexity of problems solved.
Winner: The team with the highest score at the end wins the event. Tie Breaker Round
Task: If there's a tie, a sudden-death coding challenge determines the winner.
